CORTEZ prefixes in area code 970
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CORTEZ in area code 970, 1.3% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - CO (2), ONVOY, LLC - CO (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-14 and the most recent 2024-11-20. 9 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
