VERNON prefixes in area code 205
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center VERNON 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF ALABAMA, LLC - NORTHERN (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-08-11 and the most recent 2009-02-02. 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 codes 315, 435, 448, 659 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
