ROY prefixes in area code 253

NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ROY in area code 253, 1.0% of the 508 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 ONVOY, LLC - WA (2), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - WA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-02-18 and the most recent 2023-04-14. 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 codes 406, 575 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
