ATHENS prefixes in area code 706
NANPA records 60 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ATHENS in area code 706, 7.7% of the 777 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 BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (21), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (10), POWERTEL ATLANTA LICENSES, INC. (6). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2022-02-08. 33 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 207, 217, 220, 256 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
