SUGAR LAND prefixes in area code 281

NANPA records 44 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SUGAR LAND in area code 281, 5.6% 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 WINDSTREAM SUGAR LAND, LLC (38), GRANDE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS, INC. - TX (2), AT&T - LOCAL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2006-05-15 and the most recent 2020-12-22. 6 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, 713, 832 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
