BILLERICA prefixes in area code 978
NANPA records 38 assigned NXX blocks to rate center BILLERICA in area code 978, 4.9% 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (10), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (6), BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - MA (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-20 and the most recent 2002-10-28. 28 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 code 508 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
