W CHESTER prefixes in area code 610
NANPA records 23 assigned NXX blocks to rate center W CHESTER in area code 610, 2.9% of the 782 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 VERIZON PENNSYLVANIA, INC. (13), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC - PA (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2008-09-24 and the most recent 2011-11-17. 15 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 319, 484, 835 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
