GATESVILLE prefixes in area code 252

NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GATESVILLE in area code 252, 0.7% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (1), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - NC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-09-19 and the most recent 2019-10-25. 4 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 code 254 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
