MENTONE prefixes in area code 909
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MENTONE in area code 909, 1.5% of the 786 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 T-MOBILE USA, INC. (4), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - CA (3), FRONTIER CALIFORNIA INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-05-17 and the most recent 2021-08-31. 11 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 256, 432, 574, 840 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
