HIBBING prefixes in area code 218

NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HIBBING in area code 218, 2.0% of the 708 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (3), AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-22 and the most recent 2010-03-17. 12 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
