METROPOLIS prefixes in area code 618
NANPA records 8 assigned NXX blocks to rate center METROPOLIS in area code 618, 1.0% 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. 6 holders hold those blocks, the largest being CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (2), LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-01-31 and the most recent 2009-06-24. 8 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots.
