HEFLIN prefixes in area code 256
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HEFLIN 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF ALABAMA, LLC - NORTHERN (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2010-04-27 and the most recent 2020-08-21. 4 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
