PICKENS prefixes in area code 864
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PICKENS in area code 864, 1.0% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTHERN BELL TEL & TEL (3), KINDER, ROBERT A. DBA TOTAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS (1), CHARTER IP ENABLED SERVICES, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-01-13 and the most recent 2021-12-14. 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 code 662 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
