SALEM prefixes in area code 856
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SALEM in area code 856, 1.5% 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. (3), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS ENTERPRISES, LP (2), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-25 and the most recent 2024-01-10. 9 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, 234, 262, 270 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
