RIPLEY prefixes in area code 731
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center RIPLEY in area code 731, 2.5% 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 NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (2), POWERTEL MEMPHIS LICENSES, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-04-10 and the most recent 2024-12-12. 7 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 304, 539, 662, 681 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
