GUNTERSVL prefixes in area code 256

NANPA records 18 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GUNTERSVL in area code 256, 2.3% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-05 and the most recent 2022-05-19. 14 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 code 938 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
