    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in the Faroe Islands?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 2, 5, 7 or 9 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 21 12 34). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."

    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in the Faroe Islands be ported to another carrier?",
