CANTON prefixes in area code 309
NANPA records 13 assigned NXX blocks to rate center CANTON in area code 309, 1.7% 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. 10 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (3), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (2), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2009-12-17 and the most recent 2026-09-09. 10 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 207, 234, 270, 272 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
