STAUNTON prefixes in area code 540
NANPA records 29 assigned NXX blocks to rate center STAUNTON in area code 540, 3.7% 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 VERIZON VIRGINIA, INC. (9), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - VA (8), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS CAP OPERATIONS, LLC (6). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-12 and the most recent 2009-11-13. 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 codes 618, 826 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
