ELMHURST prefixes in area code 331
NANPA records 10 assigned NXX blocks to rate center ELMHURST in area code 331, 4.5% of the 224 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. 7 holders hold those blocks, the largest being T-MOBILE USA, INC. (4), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (1), ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2007-11-05 and the most recent 2021-10-15. 10 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.
