Wireless and wireline

How the allocation was built up

The register dates none of Iroquois Falls AP’s assignments: all 1 prefixes predate CNAC’s record-keeping, the signature of an old, settled network where nothing has been added in decades.

The local market is an allocation monopoly: Ontera, a division of Bell Canada holds every prefix, and no competitor has ever requested a code for Iroquois Falls AP.

What a Iroquois Falls AP number tells you

A number attached to Iroquois Falls AP tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Ontario, most often Ontera, a division of Bell Canada. It does not tell you where the handset is today: a subscriber may have ported the number to any of the 1 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.
