CHESHIRE prefixes in area code 203
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CHESHIRE in area code 203, 1.3% of the 784 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 SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TELCO DBA FRONTIER COMM OF CT (4), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2), COMCAST IP PHONE, LLC (1). 7 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 475, 740 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
