CHARLESTON prefixes in area code 447
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHARLESTON in area code 447, 7.2% of the 221 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (14), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (1), ONVOY, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2021-12-07 and the most recent 2026-09-01. 16 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 217, 423, 479, 573 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
