PARMA prefixes in area code 517
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PARMA in area code 517, 0.6% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MI (1), FRONTIER MIDSTATES, INC. - MI (1), INTERACTIVE SERVICES NETWORK, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-11-15 and the most recent 2009-11-17. 2 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 208, 573, 986 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
