LINCOLN prefixes in area code 402
NANPA records 80 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LINCOLN in area code 402, 10.2% of the 782 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. 13 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WINDSTREAM NEBRASKA, INC. (37), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NE (20), AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-20 and the most recent 2011-07-12. 36 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 205, 207, 217, 218 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
