EPPS prefixes in area code 318
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center EPPS in area code 318, 0.4% 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - LA (1), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2003-05-30 and the most recent 2004-10-18. 3 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
