LINCOLN prefixes in area code 916
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LINCOLN in area code 916, 2.0% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being PACIFIC BELL (4), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - CA (3), METROPCS, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2007-05-29 and the most recent 2021-05-10. 13 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 205, 207, 217, 218 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
