    {
      "question": "What is the country code for Libya?",
      "answer": "+218. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 218, then the national number without its trunk prefix 0. From inside Libya, the exit code for international calls is 00."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Libya?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 091, 092, 093, 094, 095 or 096 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 091-2345678). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Libya be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Libya, 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."
