WALNUT prefixes in area code 662
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WALNUT in area code 662, 0.5% 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MS (2), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA MS - LLC (1), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-03-12 and the most recent 2004-10-27. 4 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 220, 402, 620, 712 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
