Who holds 580 exchanges
51 carriers hold the 740 central office codes assigned in 580. Southwestern Bell has the most, with 154 (21%). 500 of the codes (68%) are pooled, meaning the code holder shares blocks of 1,000 numbers with other carriers instead of using all 10,000 itself. The code holder is not necessarily the carrier serving a given number today, since numbers can be ported between providers.
