SHELBY prefixes in area code 980

NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SHELBY in area code 980, 1.5% of the 464 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 CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (1), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NC (1), SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2007-05-09 and the most recent 2022-10-13. 7 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 codes 231, 402, 406, 419 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
