PAULSBORO prefixes in area code 856

NANPA records 9 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PAULSBORO in area code 856, 1.3% of the 676 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW JERSEY, INC. (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2), ONVOY, LLC - NJ (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-10-04 and the most recent 2022-09-26. 7 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
