CHRISTISBG prefixes in area code 540

NANPA records 18 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHRISTISBG in area code 540, 2.3% of the 786 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS CAP OPERATIONS, LLC (6), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - VA (3), VERIZON VIRGINIA, INC. (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-10 and the most recent 2023-06-26. 15 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 826, 937 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
