BRISTOL prefixes in area code 860
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BRISTOL in area code 860, 1.9% 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 SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TELCO DBA FRONTIER COMM OF CT (8), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2). 7 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 262, 276, 401, 423 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
