HAMMOND prefixes in area code 985
NANPA records 44 assigned NXX blocks to rate center HAMMOND in area code 985, 9.8% of the 447 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. 16 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (11), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - LA (6), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (6). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-23 and the most recent 2022-01-20. 30 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, 219, 315, 447 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
