MILTON prefixes in area code 617
NANPA records 17 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MILTON in area code 617, 2.2% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MA (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-10-25 and the most recent 2024-01-05. 11 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 209, 217, 272, 302 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
