FLIPPIN prefixes in area code 870

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FLIPPIN in area code 870, 0.4% of the 785 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. 2 holders hold those blocks, the largest being TCA COMMUNICATIONS, LLC DBA SUDDENLINK COMM - AR (2), NORTHERN ARKANSAS TEL. CO. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2014-01-03 and the most recent 2014-01-03. 2 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
