    },
    {
      "question": "Is a 468 number mobile or landline?",
      "answer": "Either: in the North American Numbering Plan the line type belongs to the exchange (the three digits after the area code), not to the area code. Of the 71 exchanges on record in 468, 2 (3%) were allocated as mobile, 67 (94%) as fixed line and 2 (3%) as VoIP. A number can have been ported since, to another carrier and even to another line type."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which carriers have numbers in area code 468?",
      "answer": "8 carriers hold exchanges in 468 on record; the most: Cogeco (30), IXICA Communications (18) and ISP Telecom (12). These are the original allocations: with number portability, a number may be served by another carrier today, which only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) can tell."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do I validate a 468 phone number?",
      "answer": "In E.164 a 468 number matches ^\\+1468[2-9]\\d{6}$: +1, the area code, a central office code that does not start with 0 or 1, then four digits. Written nationally it reads (468) 555-0123. The exchange patterns on this page narrow it to the exchanges allocated as mobile, fixed line or VoIP."
