MERIDEN prefixes in area code 203
NANPA records 24 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MERIDEN in area code 203, 3.1% of the 784 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TELCO DBA FRONTIER COMM OF CT (11), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (2), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2008-10-03 and the most recent 2008-10-03. 14 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 475, 603, 712, 785 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
