WINCHESTER prefixes in area code 859
NANPA records 29 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WINCHESTER in area code 859, 5.2% 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. 16 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (4), BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (4), ONVOY, LLC - KY (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-22 and the most recent 2026-04-23. 24 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, 447, 540, 603 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
