LINCOLNTON prefixes in area code 704
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LINCOLNTON in area code 704, 1.9% of the 782 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (6), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (2), CENTURYLINK COMMUNICATIONS LLC - NC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-09-09 and the most recent 2008-05-01. 13 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 706, 762, 980 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
