HENDERSON prefixes in area code 252
NANPA records 23 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HENDERSON in area code 252, 3.3% 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. 13 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (8), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (3), METROPCS, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2025-12-31. 18 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 270, 315, 327, 337 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
