ALPENA prefixes in area code 989
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ALPENA in area code 989, 2.1% of the 723 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 CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MI (3), FRONTIER NORTH, INC. - MI (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-26 and the most recent 2018-12-31. 7 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 605, 870 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
