TEXARKANA prefixes in area code 870
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center TEXARKANA in area code 870, 1.5% of the 785 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VALOR TELECOMM TX, LP-TX #1 DBA WINDSTREAM COMM SW (6), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - AR (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-10-17 and the most recent 2022-01-13. 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 codes 327, 430, 903 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
