GIDDINGS prefixes in area code 979
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GIDDINGS in area code 979, 1.9% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRONTIER SOUTHWEST INC DBA FRONTIER COMM OF TEXAS (3), AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (2), TEXAS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-20 and the most recent 2022-12-09. 6 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
