ORANGE prefixes in area code 973
NANPA records 33 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ORANGE in area code 973, 4.2% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being VERIZON NEW JERSEY, INC. (16), OMNIPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC. - NJ (4), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-02-02 and the most recent 2022-10-19. 18 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 351, 409, 540, 657 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
