FINCHBURG prefixes in area code 251
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FINCHBURG in area code 251, 0.9% of the 528 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS OF THE SOUTH, LLC - AL (1), FRACTEL, LLC (1), ONVOY SPECTRUM, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-02-18 and the most recent 2022-03-30. 5 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
