CARTHAGE prefixes in area code 615

NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CARTHAGE in area code 615, 1.0% of the 781 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TN (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - TN (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-03-07 and the most recent 2022-10-03. 8 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 217, 315, 417, 430 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
