FOWL RIVER prefixes in area code 251

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FOWL RIVER in area code 251, 0.6% 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF ALABAMA, LLC - NORTHERN (1), FRACTEL, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2020-07-13 and the most recent 2023-08-23. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
