JACKSON prefixes in area code 251
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center JACKSON in area code 251, 2.8% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (3), ELISKA WIRELESS VENTURES SUBSIDIARY I, LLC (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-02-24 and the most recent 2022-09-27. 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 209, 225, 235, 252 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
