Saint-Liboire’s share of its area codes

Within area code 354, Saint-Liboire accounts for only 1 of 56 prefixes (1.8%): the code is dominated by Valleyfield and spread over 49 rate centres. Within area code 450, Saint-Liboire accounts for only 1 of 775 prefixes (0.1%): the code is dominated by Granby and spread over 129 rate centres. Within area code 579, Saint-Liboire accounts for only 1 of 644 prefixes (0.2%): the code is dominated by Granby and spread over 126 rate centres.

Who holds these numbers

Cogeco Connexion Inc. holds the largest share at 1 prefixes, 33.3% of the total, ahead of 2 other carriers. Code by code: Cogeco Connexion Inc. is the only holder in 354; Sogetel Inc. is the only holder in 450; TELUS Quebec is the only holder in 579. No carrier holds prefixes in every one of Saint-Liboire’s 3 area codes, while 3 appear in just one.

Wireless and wireline

None of Saint-Liboire’s holders carries a mobility brand in its registered name: all 3 prefixes belong to wireline or wholesale carriers, among them Cogeco Connexion Inc, Sogetel Inc and TELUS Quebec. A call showing a Saint-Liboire number therefore nominally comes from a landline, cable or VoIP platform rather than a locally assigned cellphone.

How the allocation was built up

Saint-Liboire’s dated assignments run from 2012 to 2025. The busiest period was 2010–2014, when 1 prefixes went to 1 carrier. 1 prefixes (33%) 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.

Saint-Liboire’s oldest prefixes, the ones the register leaves undated, belong to Sogetel Inc: this carrier made up the landscape before competition arrived. The first dated assignment went to TELUS Quebec in 2012. The most recent arrivals are Cogeco Connexion Inc. (2025) and TELUS Quebec (2012), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in Saint-Liboire.

Saint-Liboire has just 3 prefixes (30,000 numbers): a very small rate centre, typical of a village or rural area served by a single switching office.

No single carrier dominates Saint-Liboire: the leader, Cogeco Connexion Inc., holds only 33.3% of the prefixes against 2 competitors, a sign of a highly fragmented market where cable companies, mobility brands and VoIP providers weigh as much as the incumbent.

Growth is recent: 50.0% of the dated prefixes were assigned in the last ten years, peaking in 2010–2014. Saint-Liboire is among the rate centres where demand for numbers is still rising quickly.

Dialling a Saint-Liboire number

Saint-Liboire is served by 3 overlaid area codes (354, 450 and 579). A 579 number is no more “out of town” than a 354 one; from abroad, dial +1 and the full ten digits.

The numbering neighbourhood

Saint-Liboire shares area codes 354, 450 and 579 with at least 20 other rate centres, including Granby, Joliette, St-Jerome, St-Hyacinthe, Longueuil, Ste-Therese, St-Lambert and Sorel. The largest of them, Granby, holds 52 prefixes in 354, 450 and 579; the smallest on the list, Beloeil, has just 17.

What a Saint-Liboire number tells you

A number attached to Saint-Liboire tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Quebec, most often Cogeco Connexion Inc.. It does not tell you where the handset is today: a subscriber may have ported the number to any of the 3 carriers present here or to a VoIP service usable anywhere. Nor does it tell you who is calling: caller ID can be spoofed, and a Quebec area code is easy to borrow to look local.

Reading a register entry for Saint-Liboire: code 354-245 is recorded for Cogeco Connexion Inc., so every 354-245-XXXX number (10,000 possible) descends from that assignment. “Saint-Liboire, Quebec” there names a rate centre, not a municipality, and several area codes overlay it.

Every Saint-Liboire prefix

Each row is an in-service central-office code recorded for Saint-Liboire, with its original holder and year of assignment.

Had a call from a Saint-Liboire number?

No clear pattern in reports on these numbers yet. If a call worried you:

1. Call back on a number you trust

   If a caller says they are your bank, the Canada Revenue Agency, a courier or your phone company, hang up and call the organization on the number from its website or your statement, never the number that called you. Caller ID can be faked.

2. Report the fraud

   Report the call or text to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre online or at 1-888-495-8501. If you lost money or gave out personal details, tell your bank first, then your local police.

3. Register on the National Do Not Call List

   Registering a landline or mobile on the National DNCL is free. Registered charities, political parties, newspapers and companies you already do business with may still call.

4. Forward suspicious texts to 7726

   Forward a scam or spam text to 7726 (SPAM on the keypad). It's free, and your carrier uses it to block the sender. Don't tap links or reply.
