NEWARK prefixes in area code 973
NANPA records 147 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NEWARK in area code 973, 18.9% of the 779 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. 23 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW JERSEY, INC. (71), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - NJ (13), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - DC (13). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-05-16 and the most recent 2026-08-25. 66 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 201, 220, 302, 315 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
