ALBANY prefixes in area code 838
NANPA records 29 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALBANY in area code 838, 12.8% of the 227 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. 22 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ONVOY, LLC- NY (4), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NY (3), IP HORIZON LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2017-08-02 and the most recent 2026-07-02. 28 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 225, 229, 309, 320 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
