WESTERNSPG prefixes in area code 708
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WESTERNSPG in area code 708, 1.3% of the 784 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (3), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (1), FIRST COMMUNICATIONS, LLC (1). 8 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 630 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
