GENTRY prefixes in area code 479
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GENTRY in area code 479, 0.5% of the 569 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 NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (1), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1), BRIGHTSPEED OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-10-16 and the most recent 2002-10-16. 2 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 code 660 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
