      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 70, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 or 77 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 70 01 23 45). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."

      "question": "Can a mobile number in the Central African Republic 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 Central African Republic, 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."
