    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Nicaragua?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 5, 6, 7 or 8 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 8123 4567). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."

    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Nicaragua be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Nicaragua, 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."
