FORSYTH prefixes in area code 478
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FORSYTH in area code 478, 2.2% of the 446 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 BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (4), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2022-12-20 and the most recent 2026-10-13. 8 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 406, 417 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
