PONCHATOUL prefixes in area code 985
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PONCHATOUL in area code 985, 1.8% 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), COMMIO, LLC (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-01-30 and the most recent 2023-12-14. 5 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
