How the allocation was built up
The register dates none of Sainte-Perpetue’s assignments: all 1 prefixes predate CNAC’s record-keeping, the signature of an old, settled network where nothing has been added in decades.
TELUS Quebec is the only carrier ever recorded for Sainte-Perpetue: no competitor has obtained a prefix here. A single-carrier rate centre is typical of small communities where only the incumbent ever built a network.
Sainte-Perpetue has just 1 prefix (10,000 numbers): a very small rate centre, typical of a village or rural area served by a single switching office.
The local market is an allocation monopoly: TELUS Quebec holds every prefix, and no competitor has ever requested a code for Sainte-Perpetue.

- 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.

An allocation says who was issued the prefix, not who serves the number today: numbers can be ported between carriers, and caller ID can be spoofed outright.
