REFORM prefixes in area code 205
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center REFORM in area code 205, 0.5% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF ALABAMA, LLC - NORTHERN (1), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-10-22 and the most recent 2019-12-31. 3 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 code 659 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
