CHERAW prefixes in area code 843
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHERAW in area code 843, 1.3% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - SC (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - SC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-02-17 and the most recent 2017-10-12. 5 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 719, 854 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
