ALBANY prefixes in area code 518

NANPA records 200 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALBANY in area code 518, 25.8% of the 775 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. 33 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW YORK, INC. (51), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NY (41), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (18). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-29 and the most recent 2023-11-21. 133 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 225, 229, 309, 320 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
