THOMSON prefixes in area code 706
NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center THOMSON in area code 706, 0.9% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (1), SOUTHERN COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, INC. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-07-06 and the most recent 2011-07-05. 6 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 762, 815 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
