BENSON prefixes in area code 919
NANPA records 6 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BENSON in area code 919, 0.8% of the 781 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (2), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (2), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2005-01-21 and the most recent 2007-02-08. 5 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 309, 320, 520, 802 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
