MERCHANTVL prefixes in area code 856
NANPA records 30 assigned NXX blocks to rate center MERCHANTVL in area code 856, 4.4% of the 676 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 JERSEY, INC. (14), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (4), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-06-19 and the most recent 2017-05-08. 22 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
