DESPLAINES prefixes in area code 224
NANPA records 48 assigned NXX blocks to rate center DESPLAINES in area code 224, 8.1% of the 595 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. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (31), T-MOBILE USA, INC. (3), ONVOY, LLC (3). The earliest assignment on record here is 2004-07-27 and the most recent 2025-08-18. 48 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 847 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
