NEWARK prefixes in area code 201
NANPA records 17 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NEWARK in area code 201, 2.2% of the 779 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NJ (8), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (3), DIAL-A-BEEPER, INC. (2). 3 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 220, 302, 315, 660 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
