GALAX prefixes in area code 276
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GALAX in area code 276, 3.2% 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being UNITED STATES CELLULAR - VA (3), UNITED TELEPHONE-SOUTHEAST-VA DBA CENTURYLINK-VA (2), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS CAP OPERATIONS, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-03-18 and the most recent 2026-10-14. 11 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
