MINERAL prefixes in area code 540
NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MINERAL in area code 540, 0.9% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - VA (3), VERIZON VIRGINIA, INC. (2), METROPCS, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-08-24 and the most recent 2021-12-08. 7 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 309, 530, 826 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
