BEAUFORT prefixes in area code 843
NANPA records 31 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BEAUFORT in area code 843, 4.0% of the 783 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 BRIGHTSPEED OF SOUTH CAROLINA, LLC (10), POWERTEL ATLANTA LICENSES, INC. (8), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - SC (6). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-05 and the most recent 2018-10-03. 19 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 252, 573, 854 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
