SWEA CITY prefixes in area code 515

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SWEA CITY in area code 515, 0.5% of the 578 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 WINDSTREAM IOWA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NORTH (1), MCC TELEPHONY OF IOWA, LLC - IA (1), INDEPENDENT NETWORKS, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2006-06-29 and the most recent 2017-07-24. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
