LEXINGTON prefixes in area code 731
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LEXINGTON in area code 731, 3.0% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (3), ONVOY, LLC - TN (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-23 and the most recent 2017-09-27. 9 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 256, 308, 309, 336 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
