GRIFFIN prefixes in area code 678
NANPA records 9 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GRIFFIN in area code 678, 1.1% of the 785 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - GA (5), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - GA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-08-29 and the most recent 2007-11-21. 9 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 470, 770, 812, 943 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
