PEKIN prefixes in area code 309
NANPA records 17 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PEKIN in area code 309, 2.2% 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BRIGHTSPEED OF ILLINOIS, LLC (6), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (4), UNITED STATES CELLULAR - IL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-04-17 and the most recent 2023-02-08. 11 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 701, 812, 861, 930 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
