BEREA prefixes in area code 859
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BEREA in area code 859, 2.0% of the 563 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being WINDSTREAM KENTUCKY EAST, INC. - LEXINGTON (4), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - KY (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - KY (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-05-06 and the most recent 2026-01-05. 9 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 code 440 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
