The rate center currently carries 5 working prefixes across 4 carriers. 5 prefixes participate in thousands-block pooling, so blocks of 1,000 numbers are shared between carriers.
The rate center belongs to the Birmingham, AL Metropolitan Statistical Area. Routing-wise it sits in LATA 476.
Multiple area codes over one rate center (205/659) is the overlay pattern: same geography, different first three digits.
With only 5 prefixes, Jemison sits at the small end of Alabama's rate centers — a handful of carrier blocks cover the whole locality, and a number from here is a fairly strong locality signal (before porting is considered).
A Jemison 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.
