PAYETTE prefixes in area code 208

NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PAYETTE in area code 208, 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 T-MOBILE USA, INC. (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - ID (2), QWEST CORPORATION (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-03 and the most recent 2015-10-23. 7 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 986 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.

The holder is who received the block from the numbering administrator. It is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number: numbers move with their owners, and a pooled block is shared.
