MENA prefixes in area code 479
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MENA in area code 479, 2.1% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHWESTERN BELL (3), ONVOY, LLC - AR (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - AR (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2026-05-21. 11 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
