BOYCE prefixes in area code 318
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BOYCE in area code 318, 0.7% of the 765 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 NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), CSC VOICE, LLC (1), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-14 and the most recent 2022-02-28. 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 540, 826 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
