PONTIAC prefixes in area code 947
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PONTIAC in area code 947, 6.6% of the 211 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ONVOY, LLCV - MI (3), METROPCS, INC. (2), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - MI (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2015-09-29 and the most recent 2025-10-16. 14 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 248, 779, 810, 815 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
