PROSPECT prefixes in area code 434
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PROSPECT in area code 434, 0.6% of the 509 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 LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - VA (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF VIRGINIA, LLC (1), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - VA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-07-18 and the most recent 2002-07-18. 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 220, 541, 724, 740 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
