TUSCALOOSA prefixes in area code 205
NANPA records 69 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TUSCALOOSA in area code 205, 8.8% 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. 14 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (26), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (13), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (7). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-20 and the most recent 2018-08-15. 37 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.
