OWENSBORO prefixes in area code 270
NANPA records 42 assigned NXX blocks to rate center OWENSBORO in area code 270, 5.5% of the 769 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. 12 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (11), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (10), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - KY (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-06 and the most recent 2025-12-29. 23 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 364 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
