MURPHY prefixes in area code 828
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MURPHY in area code 828, 1.1% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS OF THE CAROLINAS INC. - NC (2), SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (1), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-10-30 and the most recent 2025-03-20. 5 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
