Pocomoke, MD — rate center
Phone numbers "from Pocomoke" are, precisely speaking, numbers whose prefixes are anchored to the Pocomoke rate center of Maryland, under 410, 443, 667.
4 central-office prefixes are currently anchored to this rate center across 4 carriers. 3 prefixes participate in thousands-block pooling, so blocks of 1,000 numbers are shared between carriers.
Routing-wise it sits in LATA 242.
Multiple area codes over one rate center (410/443/667) is the overlay pattern: same geography, different first three digits.
With only 4 prefixes, Pocomoke sits at the small end of Maryland's rate centers — a handful of carrier blocks cover the whole locality, and a number from here is a fairly strong locality signal (before porting is considered).
Treat this data as geography of the number, not of the caller: porting, VoIP and caller-ID spoofing all detach the two. When a call matters, hang up and call back through an official number.
