HERSHEY prefixes in area code 717
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HERSHEY in area code 717, 1.7% of the 784 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NORTH, INC. - PA (CONTEL) (5), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - PA (3), WINDSTREAM D & E SYSTEMS, INC. - PA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-04 and the most recent 2017-07-26. 10 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 223, 308 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
