NORFOLK prefixes in area code 402
NANPA records 19 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NORFOLK in area code 402, 2.4% of the 782 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (6), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NE (4), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - NE (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-26 and the most recent 2024-07-08. 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 315, 531, 860, 959 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
