PRINCETON prefixes in area code 609
NANPA records 56 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PRINCETON in area code 609, 7.2% of the 780 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. 17 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW JERSEY, INC. (22), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (9), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NJ (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-29 and the most recent 2026-07-02. 34 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 207, 270, 304, 351 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
