SHELBY prefixes in area code 704

NANPA records 25 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SHELBY in area code 704, 3.2% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (7), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (7), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-03-21 and the most recent 2002-03-21. 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 231, 402, 406, 419 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
