14	ZA	XML_MOBILE	Based on confirmation from telecom partners, many sub ranges of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X and\n5X - which are fixed-line as per ITU - can also be used for mobile purpose. Similarly,\nsome 87X VOIP ranges are also moved here.\nEven though ITU mentions it as protected, the 9-digit 85 range is a valid mobile range\nas per Wikipedia and user reports. Also note that we are still supporting numbers\nbeginning with 8 that are fewer than 9 digits since they are in prominent places\nonline, even though the ITU document says numbers must be 10 digits long (including the\nnational prefix).
15	ZA	XML_UAN	MaxiCall numbers cost as much as national long distance, so they are classified as UAN\nnumbers.\nPrefix 861 with 10 digits is added based on user report.
16	ZA	XML_VOIP	88 used to be assigned to pagers prior to a migration in 2010, where it was unassigned.\nAccording to an official doc from 2016, 88 is "Released" for "Future non-geographic\nservices", but we don't know yet what these are, so we do not validate them.
