ALBANY prefixes in area code 541
NANPA records 24 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALBANY in area code 541, 3.1% of the 783 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 QWEST CORPORATION (8), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2014-08-29 and the most recent 2016-01-20. 15 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.
