SYLACAUGA prefixes in area code 256
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SYLACAUGA in area code 256, 1.8% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (4), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - AL (2), POWERTEL BIRMINGHAM LICENSES, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-01-31 and the most recent 2021-04-17. 11 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.
