CRESCO prefixes in area code 563
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CRESCO in area code 563, 1.3% of the 388 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 WINDSTREAM IOWA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NORTH (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IA (1), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-05-06 and the most recent 2022-04-28. 5 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 272, 570 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
