SARANAC prefixes in area code 616
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SARANAC in area code 616, 0.7% of the 545 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 FRACTEL, LLC (1), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MI (1), MICHIGAN BELL TEL CO (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2007-06-07 and the most recent 2020-02-19. 4 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 518, 838 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
