SAMSON prefixes in area code 334

NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SAMSON in area code 334, 0.5% of the 784 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 PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF ALABAMA, LLC - SOUTHERN (1), ONVOY SPECTRUM, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-10-30 and the most recent 2024-11-13. 2 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
