STERLING prefixes in area code 620

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center STERLING in area code 620, 0.4% of the 705 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - KS (1), UNITED TEL OF EASTERN KANSAS DBA CENTURYLINK (1), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - KS (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-08 and the most recent 2004-03-01. 3 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 234, 330, 402, 580 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
