About the 224-777 exchange

224-777 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 224, which covers Illinois. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Windstream (PAETEC) for the Hampshire, IL rate center in 2009. Numbers from this carrier are usually VoIP / internet phone lines.

People keep their number when they move or switch carrier, so this is where the number was first assigned, not where the caller is today. Local time for 224-777 numbers is usually Central time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 224-777 number may not come from Windstream (PAETEC) at all.
