BRISTOL prefixes in area code 276
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BRISTOL in area code 276, 4.3% of the 374 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 UNITED TELEPHONE-SOUTHEAST-VA DBA CENTURYLINK-VA (5), SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (2), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - VA (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-08 and the most recent 2025-01-14. 13 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 262, 401, 423, 469 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
