DE FOREST prefixes in area code 608
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center DE FOREST in area code 608, 0.5% of the 785 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. 2 holders hold those blocks, the largest being BANDWIDTH.COM CLEC, LLC - WI (2), BRIGHTSPEED OF WESTERN WISCONSIN, LLC (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2017-09-28 and the most recent 2022-01-18. 3 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 353 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
