WELLS prefixes in area code 207
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WELLS in area code 207, 0.7% of the 742 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CONSOLIDATED COMM OF NO. NEW ENGLAND-ME (2), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - ME (1), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2007-04-03 and the most recent 2013-02-08. 4 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 507, 518, 775, 802 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
