TALLADEGA prefixes in area code 256

NANPA records 17 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TALLADEGA in area code 256, 2.2% 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 BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (5), METROPCS, INC. (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-04-03 and the most recent 2021-09-03. 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.

The holder is who received the block from the numbering administrator. It is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number: numbers move with their owners, and a pooled block is shared.
