ORANGE prefixes in area code 409
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ORANGE in area code 409, 3.5% of the 434 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 SOUTHWESTERN BELL (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - TX (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-26 and the most recent 2023-01-30. 13 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 351, 540, 657, 714 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
