NO READING prefixes in area code 978
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NO READING in area code 978, 1.3% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (3), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-11-21 and the most recent 2001-11-21. 8 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
