MTSTERLING prefixes in area code 859
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MTSTERLING in area code 859, 2.3% 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (3), POWERTEL KENTUCKY LICENSES, INC. (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - KY (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-06 and the most recent 2023-09-28. 10 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 217, 319, 447, 573 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
