NISSWA prefixes in area code 218
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NISSWA in area code 218, 0.6% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - MN (1), CONSOLIDATED TELEPHONE COMPANY - MN (1), QWEST CORPORATION (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-02-13 and the most recent 2005-05-10. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
