BRENHAM prefixes in area code 979
NANPA records 19 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BRENHAM in area code 979, 4.6% of the 413 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHWESTERN BELL (6), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - TX (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-08 and the most recent 2025-03-25. 14 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
