The rate center currently carries 25 working prefixes across 12 carriers. 20 prefixes participate in thousands-block pooling, so blocks of 1,000 numbers are shared between carriers.

Multiple area codes over one rate center (205/659) is the overlay pattern: same geography, different first three digits.
A Jasper prefix on caller ID is a starting point, not proof of origin — numbers travel with their owners and displays can be spoofed. Use official callback numbers for anything sensitive.
