BUFORD prefixes in area code 470
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BUFORD in area code 470, 2.0% of the 786 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 NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (5), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - GA (3), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC - GA (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2011-01-28 and the most recent 2023-05-18. 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 678, 770, 943 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
