BOONE prefixes in area code 828
NANPA records 21 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BOONE in area code 828, 2.9% of the 724 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (6), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NC (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-07-31 and the most recent 2026-07-30. 15 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 515, 859 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
