TIFTON prefixes in area code 229
NANPA records 22 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TIFTON in area code 229, 3.2% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (7), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - GA (4), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-11-08 and the most recent 2026-05-15. 13 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
