MADISON prefixes in area code 706
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MADISON in area code 706, 1.4% of the 777 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - GA (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-08 and the most recent 2003-06-19. 10 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 203, 207, 256, 304 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
