TEMPLE prefixes in area code 254
NANPA records 47 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TEMPLE in area code 254, 7.0% of the 672 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. 15 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHWESTERN BELL (16), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (9), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TX (6). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-30 and the most recent 2026-08-21. 33 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 470, 580, 678, 770 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
