TAFT prefixes in area code 661
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TAFT in area code 661, 1.6% of the 674 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 FRONTIER CALIFORNIA INC. (4), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (2), UTILITY TELECOM GROUP, LLC - CA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-01-16 and the most recent 2023-09-21. 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 361 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
