FAIRHOPE prefixes in area code 251
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FAIRHOPE in area code 251, 2.7% of the 528 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ONVOY, LLC - AL (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), NUSO, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-25 and the most recent 2025-04-22. 12 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
