JOHNSTON prefixes in area code 803
NANPA records 6 assigned NXX blocks to rate center JOHNSTON in area code 803, 0.8% 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - SC (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (2), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-05-23 and the most recent 2017-11-13. 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 234, 330, 839 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
