    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Burundi?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 2, 6 or 7 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 79 56 12 34). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Burundi be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Burundi, so the carrier a prefix was allocated to is likely, not certainly, the carrier serving the number. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) confirms it."
