MANY prefixes in area code 318
NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MANY in area code 318, 0.9% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (2), CP-TEL NETWORK SERVICES, INC. - LA (1), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - LA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-12-19 and the most recent 2009-06-09. 6 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
