INDUSTRY prefixes in area code 309
NANPA records 3 assigned NXX blocks to rate center INDUSTRY in area code 309, 0.4% 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. 2 holders hold those blocks, the largest being NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2), MCDONOUGH TEL. COOP. (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2021-04-16 and the most recent 2026-07-23. 1 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 code 979 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
