WEST FORK prefixes in area code 479

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WEST FORK in area code 479, 0.5% of the 569 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. 2 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WINDSTREAM ARKANSAS, INC. (2), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2017-10-09 and the most recent 2017-10-09. 2 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
