NEWBEDFORD prefixes in area code 508
NANPA records 32 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NEWBEDFORD in area code 508, 4.3% of the 749 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (15), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - MA (7), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-10-11 and the most recent 2026-09-04. 18 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 724, 774, 878 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
