LA PORTE prefixes in area code 281

NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LA PORTE in area code 281, 1.0% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHWESTERN BELL (4), ONVOY, LLC - TX (1), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1). 6 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 219, 346, 832 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
