WHEELING prefixes in area code 847
NANPA records 31 assigned NXX blocks to rate center WHEELING in area code 847, 3.9% 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. 8 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (12), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (6), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-05-19 and the most recent 2004-05-19. 15 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, 312, 630, 660 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
