COLUMBUS prefixes in area code 662
NANPA records 32 assigned NXX blocks to rate center COLUMBUS in area code 662, 4.2% of the 756 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (8), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (5), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MS (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-03 and the most recent 2003-04-10. 24 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 217, 270, 274, 364 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
