DICKINSON prefixes in area code 281
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center DICKINSON in area code 281, 1.3% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRONTIER SOUTHWEST INC DBA FRONTIER COMM OF TEXAS (4), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TX (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-08-20 and the most recent 2019-04-30. 7 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 346, 701, 832 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
