BIRMINGHAM prefixes in area code 248
NANPA records 61 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BIRMINGHAM in area code 248, 7.8% of the 784 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 MICHIGAN BELL TEL CO (28), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (10), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC - MI (7). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-24 and the most recent 2025-12-16. 36 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 205, 319, 440, 659 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
