ARCO prefixes in area code 208
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ARCO in area code 208, 0.4% of the 785 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. 1 holder holds those blocks, the largest being ALBION TELEPHONE CO. DBA ATC COMMUNICATIONS (3). 3 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, 986 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
