From December 10, 2020 new fixed (PSTN) number ranges were introduced for all geographic locations in Lebanon. For each existing 1 digit area code a new 2 digit code was introduced by prepending digit 2 to it. Note that this isn’t a migration from old to new numbers – all existing fixed telephone numbers remain unchanged, but it is rather a plan to slowly introduce a unified 8 digit closed numbering plan.
The newly introduced phone numbers do not require the use of a trunk code (0) when dialed from Lebanon. This has been the case for 8 digit mobile numbers in the ranges 7x xxx xxx and 8x xxx xxx since their introduction.
Heads-up: some information on these forums could be outdated - countries change their numbering plans periodically. We recommend using our top menu to double check the correct instructions for dialing to a specific country.
