PINEHURST prefixes in area code 281

NANPA records 6 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PINEHURST in area code 281, 0.8% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHWESTERN BELL (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - TX (1), ONVOY, LLC - TX (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-06-26 and the most recent 2005-09-19. 5 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 229, 346, 472, 832 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
