ELKIN prefixes in area code 336
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ELKIN in area code 336, 1.4% of the 783 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 BRIGHTSPEED OF NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (4), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-03-26 and the most recent 2023-08-02. 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 code 743 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
