HOUMA prefixes in area code 985
NANPA records 53 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HOUMA in area code 985, 11.9% 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. 16 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (13), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (10), VOICESTREAM GSM I, LLC (6). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-23 and the most recent 2022-01-04. 32 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
