      "question": "What is the country code for São Tomé and Príncipe?",

    },
    {
      "question": "Which prefixes are mobile numbers in São Tomé and Príncipe?",
      "answer": "Mobile numbers start with 90, 98 or 99 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 981 2345). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator."

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