OTTAWA prefixes in area code 785
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center OTTAWA in area code 785, 1.5% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (5), SOUTHWESTERN BELL (2), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - KS (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-11-19 and the most recent 2024-02-21. 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 419, 567, 815 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
