KINGSTON prefixes in area code 865
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center KINGSTON in area code 865, 2.2% of the 506 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 BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TN (3), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - TN (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-02-28 and the most recent 2024-06-06. 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 272, 319, 329, 339 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
