By numbering footprint the leading localities are Springfield, Danville, Champaign-urbana, Charleston, Mattoon, Quincy, Decatur and Jacksonville, and 109 smaller communities down to single-prefix localities.

118 of these localities are also reachable through other area codes — overlay territory where the same place answers to several codes.
All of the code's territory keeps Central time.
Remember that people keep numbers when they relocate, so a 447 number is a where-it-was-issued fact, not a where-they-are fact.
