HAYS prefixes in area code 785
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HAYS in area code 785, 2.2% of the 726 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 SOUTHWESTERN BELL (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - KS (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-21 and the most recent 2024-03-07. 8 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 336, 406, 743 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
