ATHENS prefixes in area code 903
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ATHENS in area code 903, 1.9% of the 771 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 CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TX (4), BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN TEXAS, INC. (4), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-09 and the most recent 2013-11-05. 9 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 207, 217, 220, 256 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
