BECKLEY prefixes in area code 304
NANPA records 25 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BECKLEY in area code 304, 3.2% of the 785 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 FRONTIER WEST VIRGINIA INC. (8), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (4), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - WV (4). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-10 and the most recent 2011-11-21. 17 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 681 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
