      "question": "What is the country code for Nepal?",
      "answer": "+977. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 977, then the national number without its trunk prefix 0. From inside Nepal, the exit code for international calls is 00."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Nepal?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 90, 96, 97 or 98 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 984-1234567). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can a mobile number in Nepal be ported to another carrier?",
      "answer": "Not on record. The plan data this page is built from does not list mobile number portability for Nepal, 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."
