BUTLER prefixes in area code 205
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BUTLER in area code 205, 1.0% of the 785 blocks assigned in the code. A rate center is the billing geography a block is allocated to – NANPA truncates the name to ten characters, so read it as a NANPA label rather than a town. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (4), PINE BELT CELLULAR, INC. (1), BUTLER TEL. CO., INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-09-11 and the most recent 2023-05-26. 6 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots. The same rate center name also appears in area codes 260, 412, 419, 423 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
