      "question": "What is the country code for Sri Lanka?",

    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Sri Lanka?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 070, 071, 072, 074, 075, 076, 077 or 078 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 071 234 5678). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Sri Lanka be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Sri Lanka, 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."
