      "question": "What is the country code for the Democratic Republic of the Congo?",
      "answer": "+243. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 243, then the national number without its trunk prefix 0. From inside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the exit code for international calls is 00."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 08 or 09 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 0991 234 567). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in the Democratic Republic of the Congo be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 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."
