    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Malta?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 72, 77, 79, 92, 96, 98 or 99 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 9696 1234). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Malta be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Yes. Malta has mobile number portability, so a prefix tells you the carrier a number was originally allocated to, not necessarily the one serving it today. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) answers that."
