MINDEN prefixes in area code 318
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MINDEN in area code 318, 1.7% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ONVOY, LLC - LA (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-09 and the most recent 2024-06-05. 9 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 308, 430, 712, 903 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
