NEWPORT prefixes in area code 603

NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NEWPORT in area code 603, 0.7% of the 752 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CONSOLIDATED COMM OF NO. NEW ENGLAND-NH (2), BELL ATLANTIC MOBILE, INC (1), FREEDOM RING COMMUNICATIONS, LLC (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2013-08-09 and the most recent 2020-06-15. 4 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 207, 220, 223, 252 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
