The towns inside area code 417
Area code 417 is not a city code. It covers 155 separate rate centres — billing areas, each its own local calling zone. The largest of them are named in the table below.
That matters twice over. A call between two 417 numbers is not necessarily a local call, because they can sit in different rate centres. And a code this wide narrows a subscriber to a region rather than a town.
Missouri is split across 9 area codes — 573, 816, 314, 417, 636, 660 and others. By allocated blocks 417 is the 4th largest of them, holding 17% of the Missouri total.
Where 417 numbers are concentrated

The largest holder, Verizon Wireless, has 15% of the code.
These are original allocations. A number keeps its digits and its block when its subscriber moves network, so a ported 417 number still reports the carrier it started with. Closing that gap needs a live query against the routing database. How line type is derived.
