KURTEN prefixes in area code 979
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center KURTEN in area code 979, 1.2% of the 413 blocks assigned in the code.

(1), ONVOY SPECTRUM, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-06-03 and the most recent 2025-06-06. 4 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
