SLIDELL prefixes in area code 985
NANPA records 39 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SLIDELL in area code 985, 8.7% 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BELLSOUTH TELECOMM INC DBA SOUTH CENTRAL BELL TEL (13), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - GA (6), VOICESTREAM GSM I, LLC (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-25 and the most recent 2025-03-25. 29 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 940 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
