METUCHEN prefixes in area code 848
NANPA records 24 assigned NXX blocks to rate center METUCHEN in area code 848, 8.2% of the 291 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NJ (11), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NJ (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-02-22 and the most recent 2026-08-24. 24 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 732, 908 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
