OCRACOKE prefixes in area code 252
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center OCRACOKE in area code 252, 0.4% of the 695 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 UNITED STATES CELLULAR - NC (1), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-09-10 and the most recent 2002-09-10. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
