MIDDLETOWN prefixes in area code 848
NANPA records 7 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MIDDLETOWN in area code 848, 2.4% of the 291 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NJ (2), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NJ (1), PEERLESS NETWORK OF NEW JERSEY, LLC - NJ (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-02-22 and the most recent 2023-09-15. 7 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 223, 227, 240, 283 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
