Lebanon eSIM: the APN Android makes you type
A data-only profile from Salbeh, riding Alfa (4G) as a visitor. No local shop, no local number, no counter.
5 plans for Lebanon, from 1 GB at $9.99 to 10 GB at $66.99. 5 GB for 30 days costs $37.99 — 13th cheapest of 13 in the Middle East, against a $14.99 median. Our retail prices from the operator catalogue, checked 28 September 2026.
On Android the APN is not filled in for you: type wbdata by hand, or there is no data.

Questions people ask about Lebanon
Can I buy the Lebanon eSIM as a tourist, or does someone check my passport first?
No counter and no document: the Salbeh profile arrives as a QR by email and joins Alfa the moment you scan it. The catalogue records no identity check on it, checked 28 September 2026.
Will WhatsApp calls work on the Lebanon eSIM, and do I get a phone number?
WhatsApp and FaceTime calls run over data, so they work. The Salbeh profile is data-only — all 5 Lebanon plans are — so it carries no phone number: no SMS, no ordinary calls. Keep your home SIM in the phone for bank codes.
How much data do I need for a week in Lebanon?
About 2.4 GB — maps, chats and a podcast a day, with video left on hotel Wi-Fi. In Lebanon the cheapest plan that covers it is 3 GB - 30 days at $23.99. That is a guide, not a measurement: the rates are the services' own published figures.
Will I get 5G on the Lebanon eSIM?
No — the Lebanon profile is specified for 4G on Alfa, not 5G. For maps, calls over data and streaming that is the same experience; 5G changes the number, not the trip.
Does the Lebanon eSIM work in the countries next door?
No — the catalogue lists this as a local Lebanon profile on Alfa, not a regional plan; it stops at the border. 12 other Middle East countries in the catalogue sell their own.
