OTTAWA prefixes in area code 815
NANPA records 11 assigned NXX blocks to rate center OTTAWA in area code 815, 1.4% 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 LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - IL (3), ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (3), TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC - IL (2). The earliest assignment on record here is 2001-12-28 and the most recent 2010-01-08. 8 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 codes 419, 567, 785 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
