PONTOTOC prefixes in area code 662
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PONTOTOC in area code 662, 1.7% 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MS (3), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-27 and the most recent 2010-11-11. 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 325 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
