WILSON prefixes in area code 252
NANPA records 35 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WILSON in area code 252, 5.0% 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. 13 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (10), SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (5), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-26 and the most recent 2026-06-10. 26 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 225, 580, 716, 785 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
