MANTEO prefixes in area code 252

NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MANTEO in area code 252, 1.0% 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 (2), BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (2), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - NC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2021-08-17 and the most recent 2021-08-17. 7 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
