BRENTWOOD prefixes in area code 516
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BRENTWOOD in area code 516, 1.3% of the 783 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SPOK, INC. (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (2), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NY (2). 1 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 631, 934 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
