CHARLESTN prefixes in area code 617
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHARLESTN in area code 617, 1.7% of the 768 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (4), VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (3), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-16 and the most recent 2021-07-20. 9 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 603, 812, 857, 930 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
