BEVERLY prefixes in area code 978

NANPA records 24 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BEVERLY in area code 978, 3.1% of the 773 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 ENGLAND INC. (7), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (4), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-04-09 and the most recent 2015-12-30. 19 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 351, 508, 740, 785 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
