VAN BUREN prefixes in area code 479
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center VAN BUREN 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHWESTERN BELL (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-05-30 and the most recent 2021-10-11. 9 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 207, 419, 567, 573 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
