MOORHEAD prefixes in area code 218
NANPA records 21 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MOORHEAD in area code 218, 3.0% 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. 12 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (5), ELECTRIC LIGHTWAVE LLC DBA ALLSTREAM (2), VAL-ED JOINT VENTURE, LLP DBA 702 COMMUNICATIONS (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-12 and the most recent 2023-04-19. 13 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 662, 712 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
