MAHNOMEN prefixes in area code 218

NANPA records 6 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MAHNOMEN in area code 218, 0.8% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MN (2), TERRA NOVA TELECOM INC. (1), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-02-13 and the most recent 2008-10-21. 4 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
