About the 872-201 exchange
872-201 is an exchange (the first six digits of a phone number) in area code 872, which covers Illinois. NANPA, which runs the North American Numbering Plan, assigned it to Verizon Wireless for the Chicago, IL rate center in 2009. Numbers from this carrier are usually wireless (cell 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 872-201 numbers is usually Central time. Scammers can also fake (spoof) any number, so a call that shows a 872-201 number may not come from Verizon Wireless at all.
