LACOMBE prefixes in area code 985

NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LACOMBE in area code 985, 1.1% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1), METROPCS, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-12-13 and the most recent 2024-04-18. 5 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
