PETERSHAM prefixes in area code 978
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PETERSHAM in area code 978, 0.6% of the 773 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - MA (2), ONVOY, LLC - MA (1), VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (1). 5 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
