ALLEN prefixes in area code 469
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALLEN in area code 469, 1.9% of the 786 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - TX (3), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - TX (3), ONVOY, LLC - TX (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2011-11-22 and the most recent 2020-04-08. 12 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 214, 402, 517, 531 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
