ASHBURN prefixes in area code 229
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ASHBURN in area code 229, 1.2% of the 685 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WINDSTREAM GEORGIA COMMUNICATIONS CORP. (3), SOUTHERN COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC. (2), MCC TELEPHONY LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-04-04 and the most recent 2015-05-01. 7 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
