BIG LAKE prefixes in area code 763
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BIG LAKE in area code 763, 2.2% of the 368 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 WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS VENTURE (2), WINDSTREAM LAKEDALE, INC. (2), WORLDCELL SOLUTIONS LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2009-03-13 and the most recent 2022-07-22. 6 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 325, 907 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
