WEIRTON prefixes in area code 304
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WEIRTON in area code 304, 1.8% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRONTIER WEST VIRGINIA INC. (4), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (3), AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-12 and the most recent 2005-06-09. 8 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.
