Feversham’s share of its area codes

Within area code 519, Feversham accounts for only 1 of 779 prefixes (0.1%): the code is dominated by London and spread over 210 rate centres. Within area code 548, Feversham accounts for only 1 of 499 prefixes (0.2%): the code is dominated by London and spread over 170 rate centres.

Who holds these numbers

Bell Canada holds the largest share at 1 prefixes, 50.0% of the total, ahead of 1 other carrier. Code by code: Bell Canada is the only holder in 519; Fibernetics Corporation is the only holder in 548. No carrier holds prefixes in every one of Feversham’s 2 area codes, while 2 appear in just one.

Wireless and wireline

None of Feversham’s holders carries a mobility brand in its registered name: all 2 prefixes belong to wireline or wholesale carriers, among them Bell Canada and Fibernetics Corporation. A call showing a Feversham number therefore nominally comes from a landline, cable or VoIP platform rather than a locally assigned cellphone.

How the allocation was built up

Feversham’s dated assignments run from 2021 to 2021. The busiest period was 2020–2024, when 1 prefixes went to 1 carrier. 1 prefixes (50%) carry no date in the register: these are the historic pre-1999 assignments, the wireline bedrock of the rate centre. Since 2020 another 1 prefixes have been added, so the rate centre is still growing.

Feversham’s oldest prefixes, the ones the register leaves undated, belong to Bell Canada: this carrier made up the landscape before competition arrived. The first dated assignment went to Fibernetics Corporation in 2021. The most recent arrivals are Fibernetics Corporation (2021), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in Feversham.

Feversham has just 2 prefixes (20,000 numbers): a very small rate centre, typical of a village or rural area served by a single switching office.

Bell Canada leads with 50.0% of the prefixes, but 1 competitors have set up in Feversham: a market where the incumbent keeps the edge without exclusivity.

Growth is recent: 100.0% of the dated prefixes were assigned in the last ten years, peaking in 2020–2024. Feversham is among the rate centres where demand for numbers is still rising quickly.

The register also shows 1 prefix assigned but not yet in service in Feversham (Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Cable)): numbers that will start showing up on call displays in the coming months.

Dialling a Feversham number

Feversham is served by 2 overlaid area codes (519 and 548). A 548 number is no more “out of town” than a 519 one; from abroad, dial +1 and the full ten digits.

The numbering neighbourhood

Feversham shares area codes 519 and 548 with at least 20 other rate centres, including London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Windsor, Guelph, Brantford, Sarnia, Chatham and Hespeler. The largest of them, London, holds 142 prefixes in 519 and 548; the smallest on the list, St. Thomas, has just 10.

What a Feversham number tells you

A number attached to Feversham tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Ontario, most often Bell Canada. It does not tell you where the handset is today: a subscriber may have ported the number to any of the 2 carriers present here or to a VoIP service usable anywhere. Nor does it tell you who is calling: caller ID can be spoofed, and an Ontario area code is easy to borrow to look local.

Reading a register entry for Feversham: code 519-922 is recorded for Bell Canada, so every 519-922-XXXX number (10,000 possible) descends from that assignment. “Feversham, Ontario” there names a rate centre, not a municipality, and several area codes overlay it.
