Important To Know

  • Tariffs include VAT and are estimated per minute, in US dollars, except for SMS; these are calculated based on the number of characters (1 SMS is equal to 160 characters, and costs 0.02 cents when sent to local Lebanese numbers and $0.07 to international numbers). Other fees related to the visited country tariffs (such as outgoing calls to International destinations while roaming) will be added to this initial cost as per the applicable tariffs of the operator in the visited country
  • The reception of an SMS sent by a subscriber to a foreign operator is not guaranteed. Indeed, some foreign operators with whom Alfa currently has a roaming agreement may not always allow the receipt of SMS on their respective networks. Please note that no notification of receipt will be sent to the sender of the SMS. Either way, the SMS sent is billed according to the tariff per SMS
