FOX LAKE prefixes in area code 847
NANPA records 5 assigned NXX blocks to rate center FOX LAKE in area code 847, 0.6% 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. 4 holders hold those blocks, the largest being ILLINOIS BELL TEL CO (2), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC - IL (1), MCIMETRO ACCESS TRANSMISSION SERVICES LLC - IL (1). The earliest assignment on record here is 2023-08-08 and the most recent 2023-08-08. 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 codes 224, 920 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
