FRANKLIN prefixes in area code 828
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FRANKLIN in area code 828, 1.8% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (3), FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS OF THE CAROLINAS INC. - NC (3), BALSAMWEST FIBERNET, LLC - NC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-21 and the most recent 2024-06-21. 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 207, 217, 270, 304 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
