DURANGO prefixes in area code 970
NANPA records 29 assigned NXX blocks to rate center DURANGO in area code 970, 3.7% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being T-MOBILE USA, INC. (8), QWEST CORPORATION (7), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-30 and the most recent 2025-12-03. 20 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 code 748 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
