MERIDIAN prefixes in area code 601
NANPA records 50 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MERIDIAN in area code 601, 6.4% of the 783 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. 15 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (14), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (12), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MS (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-31 and the most recent 2026-08-11. 29 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 254, 405, 530, 572 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
