GASTONIA prefixes in area code 980
NANPA records 24 assigned NXX blocks to rate center GASTONIA in area code 980, 5.2% of the 464 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 SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (8), ONVOY, LLC - NC (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-23 and the most recent 2026-08-07. 23 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 code 704 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
