TUSCALOOSA prefixes in area code 659
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TUSCALOOSA in area code 659, 7.8% 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. 12 holders hold those blocks, the largest being POWERTEL BIRMINGHAM LICENSES, INC. (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), BOOST SUBSCRIBERCO L.L.C. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2020-02-12 and the most recent 2026-10-29. 14 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 code 205 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
