SCOTTSBORO prefixes in area code 256
NANPA records 18 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SCOTTSBORO 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (6), BRIGHTSPEED OF ALABAMA, LLC - SOUTHERN (4), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-05-12 and the most recent 2023-01-13. 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.
