PASSAIC prefixes in area code 973
NANPA records 46 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PASSAIC in area code 973, 5.9% 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. 13 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW JERSEY, INC. (22), METROPCS, INC. (5), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - NJ (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-13 and the most recent 2011-02-16. 27 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 201, 862 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
