CHATHAM prefixes in area code 973
NANPA records 12 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHATHAM in area code 973, 1.5% of the 779 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 (5), VERIZON NEW JERSEY, INC. (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NJ (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-09 and the most recent 2024-05-16. 10 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 217, 234, 318, 330 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
