BROWNSVL prefixes in area code 956
NANPA records 105 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BROWNSVL in area code 956, 14.3% of the 735 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. 24 holders hold those blocks, the largest being STPCS JOINT VENTURE, LLC (24), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (22), SOUTHWESTERN BELL (22). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-02 and the most recent 2026-09-16. 90 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 270, 364, 458, 507 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
