NANPA CO code assignment, current as of July 28, 2026.

Numbers in the 617-264 prefix are registered to the Brookline rate center in MA, inside area code 617. The prefix is the second block of a ten-digit US number (617-264-XXXX) and pins the number to a billing locality.

NANPA's central-office code records list VERIZON NEW ENGLAND INC. (OCN 9102) as the code holder. Because 617-264 participates in thousands-block pooling, individual 1,000-number blocks may belong to other carriers than the code holder.

The rate center lies in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH Metropolitan Statistical Area. The serving LATA is 128. Local time follows the Eastern zone.
