WAUPACA prefixes in area code 715
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WAUPACA in area code 715, 1.4% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WISCONSIN BELL INC (2), METRO SOUTHWEST PCS, LLP (2), AMHERST TELEPHONE COMPANY (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2006-02-08 and the most recent 2024-01-25. 8 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 534 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
