BESSEMER prefixes in area code 659
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BESSEMER in area code 659, 6.1% of the 179 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ONVOY, LLC - AL (3), FRACTEL, LLC (2), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - AL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2019-10-14 and the most recent 2026-09-03. 11 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 205, 724, 906 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
