COVINGTON prefixes in area code 985
NANPA records 32 assigned NXX blocks to rate center COVINGTON in area code 985, 7.2% of the 447 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. 12 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (8), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (5), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (4). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-23 and the most recent 2026-04-13. 27 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 254, 470, 540, 570 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
