SANDWICH prefixes in area code 779
NANPA records 4 assigned NXX blocks to rate center SANDWICH in area code 779, 1.1% of the 354 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being PEERLESS NETWORK OF ILLINOIS, LLC - IL (1), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - IL (1), FRONTIER NORTH, INC. - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2012-08-31 and the most recent 2016-10-27. 4 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 815 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
