DALTON prefixes in area code 706
NANPA records 35 assigned NXX blocks to rate center DALTON in area code 706, 4.5% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WINDSTREAM GEORGIA COMMUNICATIONS CORP. (17), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - GA (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (4). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-30 and the most recent 2013-08-08. 19 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 218, 234, 272, 308 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
