      "question": "Can a mobile number in the 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 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."
