PASSCHRSTN prefixes in area code 228
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PASSCHRSTN in area code 228, 5.1% of the 275 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 BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MS (1), BOOST SUBSCRIBERCO L.L.C. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2025-09-22. 11 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
