ELLIJAY prefixes in area code 706

NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ELLIJAY in area code 706, 1.4% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ELLIJAY TEL. CO. (7), POWERTEL ATLANTA LICENSES, INC. (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-06-18 and the most recent 2002-09-05. 6 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 code 762 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
