NEW BERN prefixes in area code 252
NANPA records 33 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NEW BERN in area code 252, 4.7% of the 695 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 BRIGHTSPEED OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, LLC (9), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NC (6), SUNCOM DBA T-MOBILE USA (4). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-03-09 and the most recent 2024-01-03. 25 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
