CENTRE prefixes in area code 256
NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CENTRE in area code 256, 0.9% of the 786 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (2), PEOPLES TEL. CO., INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-03-25 and the most recent 2015-05-15. 6 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
