NEWTON prefixes in area code 973
NANPA records 16 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NEWTON in area code 973, 2.1% 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. 5 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NJ (7), BRIGHTSPEED OF NEW JERSEY, INC. (4), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NJ (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-16 and the most recent 2009-11-03. 5 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 229, 304, 316, 334 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
