MALTA prefixes in area code 406
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MALTA in area code 406, 0.4% of the 754 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 CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MT (1), TRIANGLE TEL. COOP. ASSN., INC. (1), SAGEBRUSH CELLULAR, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-01-10 and the most recent 2008-05-06. 3 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 208, 779, 815 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
