HOWELL prefixes in area code 517
NANPA records 27 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HOWELL in area code 517, 4.4% 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. 13 holders hold those blocks, the largest being MICHIGAN BELL TEL CO (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (4), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS MIDWEST OPERATIONS, LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-02 and the most recent 2024-01-17. 20 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 code 435 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
