LEXINGTON prefixes in area code 540
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LEXINGTON in area code 540, 1.4% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being METROPCS, INC. (3), BRIGHTSPEED OF VIRGINIA, LLC (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-10 and the most recent 2019-02-19. 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 256, 308, 309, 336 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
