STAFFORD prefixes in area code 346
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center STAFFORD in area code 346, 1.9% of the 752 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 METROPCS, INC. (5), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (2), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - TX (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2015-07-28 and the most recent 2025-10-14. 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 281, 540, 620, 826 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
