Lebanon Phone Number validator
How the phone number format works
- Format
- Lebanon phone number in national or international (+961) format
- Example
- +96171123456
Things to watch for
- Accepts national or international (E.164, e.g. +961...) format
- Validated with Google's libphonenumber; confirms the number is possible/valid for this country, not that it is currently assigned or reachable
^[+]?[0-9 ()\-]{6,}$A Lebanese phone number dials nationally with a leading 0 followed by a mobile prefix — the older 3 (03 123456) or a newer 2-digit range like 70, 71, 76, 78, 79, or 81 (071 234567) — with the newer ranges running one digit longer than the older one. Landlines are shorter again: a 1-digit area code, 1 for Beirut, paired with a 6-digit local number. Converting to +961 form drops the leading 0 from any of these, but the resulting length still depends on which prefix was used.
How this validator works
Enter the number nationally (071123456) or with the country code (+96171123456); this tool checks the digits against Lebanon’s real numbering plan using Google’s libphonenumber, entirely in your browser, correctly handling the country’s mix of legacy and newer mobile-number lengths rather than assuming one fixed size. Because length alone isn’t a reliable check here, the prefix matters as much as the digit count.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
A pass confirms the number matches a genuine Lebanese mobile or landline pattern — it says nothing about whether that SIM is currently active or the line connected. Format validity and live reachability are separate questions this tool can’t answer together.
Scope: catch a wrong prefix, a missing digit, or a kept trunk 0 after +961 before a number reaches a form or SMS gateway — not confirmation it currently rings.

phone number FAQ
Why do Lebanese mobile numbers vary in length?
Lebanon issued mobile ranges in stages — the older 03 prefix produces a shorter number after the trunk 0 is dropped, while newer prefixes (70, 71, 76, 78, 79, 81) produce one digit more — both are genuinely valid, not a formatting error.
Is a Lebanese landline number the same length as a mobile number?
No. A landline pairs a 1-digit area code (1 for Beirut) with a 6-digit local number, one digit shorter than most mobile numbers once the trunk 0 is dropped from both.
Does a valid check confirm a Lebanese number is currently active?
No. It confirms the digits match a real Lebanese mobile or landline pattern under the numbering plan — not that the SIM is loaded or the line connected, which needs a carrier-side lookup this tool doesn't perform.
