EFFINGHAM prefixes in area code 217
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center EFFINGHAM in area code 217, 1.4% of the 786 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS CONSOLIDATED TEL. CO. (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (3), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2018-01-08 and the most recent 2019-05-29. 7 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 447, 913 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
