CHARLOTTE prefixes in area code 517
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHARLOTTE in area code 517, 2.4% of the 616 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MI (3), MICHIGAN BELL TEL CO (2), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS MIDWEST OPERATIONS, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-11-01 and the most recent 2024-10-23. 10 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 563, 615, 629, 704 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
