SANFORD prefixes in area code 321
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SANFORD in area code 321, 2.8% of the 502 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 METROPCS NETWORKS, LLC (6), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (4), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - FL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-17 and the most recent 2005-12-29. 14 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 207, 407, 689, 806 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
