FERRUM prefixes in area code 540
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FERRUM in area code 540, 0.4% 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. 2 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF VIRGINIA, LLC (2), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - VA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-10-03 and the most recent 2002-10-03. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
