LANCASTER prefixes in area code 716
NANPA records 22 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LANCASTER in area code 716, 2.9% of the 768 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW YORK, INC. (7), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (5), SPOK, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-10-17 and the most recent 2024-07-05. 14 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, 220, 223, 603 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
