MATTHEWS prefixes in area code 704
NANPA records 14 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MATTHEWS in area code 704, 1.8% 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 WINDSTREAM NORTH CAROLINA, INC. (10), LEVEL 3 TELECOM OF NORTH CAROLINA, LP - NC (1), MATTHEWS RADIO SERVICE, INC. DBA EASTERN RADIO (1). 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 code 980 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
