MADISONVL prefixes in area code 985

NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MADISONVL in area code 985, 1.6% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (2), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - LA (1), HUNT TELECOMMUNICATIONS, LLC - LA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-10-27 and the most recent 2022-01-19. 6 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 270, 364, 423, 936 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
