LEWISTON prefixes in area code 208
NANPA records 18 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LEWISTON in area code 208, 2.3% 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (6), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (4), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-08 and the most recent 2021-01-20. 13 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 207, 252, 507, 530 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
