ELGIN prefixes in area code 224
NANPA records 44 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ELGIN in area code 224, 7.4% of the 595 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (16), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (12), ONVOY, LLC (5). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-10-18 and the most recent 2026-01-27. 44 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 402, 507, 512, 531 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
