LOWELL prefixes in area code 978
NANPA records 81 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LOWELL in area code 978, 10.5% 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. 13 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (31), OMNIPOINT MIAMI E LICENSE, LLC (9), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (7). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-19 and the most recent 2026-01-05. 62 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 219, 351, 458, 541 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
