NASHVILLE prefixes in area code 229
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NASHVILLE in area code 229, 1.2% of the 685 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 WINDSTREAM GEORGIA COMMUNICATIONS CORP. (4), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - GA (2), MCC TELEPHONY LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-08-08 and the most recent 2015-05-01. 4 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 234, 252, 330, 517 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
