MEMPHIS prefixes in area code 662
NANPA records 22 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MEMPHIS in area code 662, 2.9% of the 756 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 (7), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MS (3), ONVOY, LLC - MS (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-24 and the most recent 2023-12-08. 17 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 660, 806, 810, 901 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
