ALBANY prefixes in area code 606
NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALBANY in area code 606, 1.1% of the 639 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WINDSTREAM KENTUCKY EAST, INC. - LEXINGTON (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1), ONVOY, LLC - KY (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2010-12-29 and the most recent 2018-06-03. 5 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.
