      "question": "What is the country code for Bhutan?",

    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Bhutan?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 16, 17, 77 or 87 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 17 12 34 56). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Bhutan be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Bhutan, 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."
