LOCUST prefixes in area code 704
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LOCUST in area code 704, 0.6% of the 782 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NC (1), ONVOY, LLC - NC (1), SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2019-08-05 and the most recent 2019-08-05. 4 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 980 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
