ELM CITY prefixes in area code 252
NANPA records 6 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ELM CITY in area code 252, 0.9% of the 695 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 BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - NC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2009-09-13. 6 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
