MEADS prefixes in area code 606
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MEADS in area code 606, 2.0% of the 639 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 NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (5), WINDSTREAM KENTUCKY EAST, INC. - LEXINGTON (4), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - KY (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-28 and the most recent 2022-10-28. 8 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
