BEAR LAKE prefixes in area code 231

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BEAR LAKE in area code 231, 0.5% of the 572 blocks assigned in the code.

(1), BRIGHTSPEED OF MICHIGAN, LLC (1), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-08-30 and the most recent 2004-03-24. 1 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
