CROOKSTON prefixes in area code 218
NANPA records 9 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CROOKSTON in area code 218, 1.3% of the 708 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MN (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-02-12 and the most recent 2023-08-24. 5 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 402 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
