ELGIN prefixes in area code 847
NANPA records 23 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ELGIN in area code 847, 2.9% 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. 9 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (12), PAETEC ITEL, LLC (2), SPOK, INC. (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2009-10-30 and the most recent 2010-07-29. 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 224, 402, 507, 512 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
