      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in the Seychelles?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 21, 22, 25, 26, 27 or 28 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 2 510 123). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."

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