How about 550 (Ameritech) and 659 (Southwestern Bell/Cellular One)?

As far as I can tell, these are dedicated -- in fact they are the "main"
prefixes for each company, containing the Chicago roamer access numbers.
Yet I would expect both of them to move, since they are currently listed
outside the city.  This will put both "Chicago" roamer numbers in 708.

It seems that 867 is the only exception to the rule that if the "name place"
for the prefix is "Chicago" it stays in 312, otherwise it moves to 708.  This
makes one suspicious about 867 -- will its "name place" change along with its
NPA?
