BELLS prefixes in area code 731
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BELLS in area code 731, 2.0% of the 395 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TN (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), ONVOY, LLC - TN (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-03-14 and the most recent 2021-10-21. 6 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
