SYLVESTER prefixes in area code 229
NANPA records 9 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SYLVESTER in area code 229, 1.3% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - GA (1), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-07-09 and the most recent 2026-03-11. 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 325 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
