BIRMINGHAM prefixes in area code 659
NANPA records 36 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BIRMINGHAM in area code 659, 20.1% 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. 20 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ONVOY, LLC - AL (7), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (5), POWERTEL BIRMINGHAM LICENSES, INC. (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2020-02-20 and the most recent 2026-10-09. 36 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, 248, 319, 440 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
