GURLEY prefixes in area code 256

NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GURLEY in area code 256, 0.5% 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 PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (1), AT&T ENTERPRISES, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2006-01-23 and the most recent 2015-09-25. 4 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 308, 806, 938 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
