MADISON prefixes in area code 605
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MADISON in area code 605, 1.1% of the 745 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - SD (2), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - SD (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-17 and the most recent 2023-03-01. 6 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 203, 207, 256, 304 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
