Calling Lebanon from France: what to know

Lebanon answers on the country code +961, with the capital in Beirut and most business concentrated around Beirut, Tripoli and Sidon. The working language for business is Arabic, French, and local offices generally keep hours of 8:30 to 17:00 with extended lunches.

From France the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +961 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between France and Lebanon.

Most mobiles in Lebanon sit on operators such as Alfa, Touch. Lebanon's telecom infrastructure is unstable due to ongoing political and economic crises, voice quality and call-completion rates vary significantly week-to-week.

Lebanon runs on UTC plus 2, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
