FRUITHURST prefixes in area code 256

NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FRUITHURST in area code 256, 0.4% 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (1), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - AL (1), ONVOY SPECTRUM, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-03-25 and the most recent 2021-01-22. 3 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.
