PLAINFIELD prefixes in area code 815
NANPA records 15 assigned NXX blocks to rate center PLAINFIELD in area code 815, 1.9% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (6), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (5), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-04-10 and the most recent 2024-02-08. 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 codes 317, 319, 463, 603 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
