LONG BEACH prefixes in area code 562
NANPA records 186 assigned NXX blocks to rate center LONG BEACH in area code 562, 26.5% of the 702 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. 26 holders hold those blocks, the largest being FRONTIER CALIFORNIA INC. (36), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC (31), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - CA (26). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-08 and the most recent 2026-08-07. 124 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 360, 472, 910 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
