ALEXANDRCY prefixes in area code 256
NANPA records 18 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALEXANDRCY in area code 256, 2.3% of the 786 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (6), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AL (4), METROPCS, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-02 and the most recent 2007-02-23. 16 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 938 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
