INDEPNDNCE prefixes in area code 216
NANPA records 41 assigned NXX blocks to rate center INDEPNDNCE in area code 216, 6.7% of the 613 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. 15 holders hold those blocks, the largest being OHIO BELL TEL CO (11), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC - OH (5), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-27 and the most recent 2025-12-29. 29 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 276, 319, 442, 620 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
