PAYSON prefixes in area code 928
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PAYSON in area code 928, 2.5% of the 637 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 QWEST CORPORATION (6), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - AZ (4), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-08-07 and the most recent 2017-01-18. 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 217, 385, 447, 801 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
