NATCHEZ prefixes in area code 601
NANPA records 23 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NATCHEZ in area code 601, 2.9% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (5), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MS (4). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-04 and the most recent 2023-07-20. 11 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 code 769 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
