COLUMBIA prefixes in area code 717
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center COLUMBIA in area code 717, 1.0% of the 784 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being D&E/OMNIPOINT WIREL JOINT VENT LP DBA PCS ONE (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - PA (2), BRIGHTSPEED OF PENNSYLVANIA, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-07-18 and the most recent 2016-10-06. 7 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 207, 223, 235, 252 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
