MEDWAY prefixes in area code 508
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MEDWAY in area code 508, 0.4% of the 749 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. 3 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MA (1), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1), VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (1). 1 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 326, 774, 937 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
