Wireless and wireline
None of St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.)’s holders carries a mobility brand in its registered name: all 4 prefixes belong to wireline or wholesale carriers, among them Videotron Ltd, Bell Canada and TELUS Quebec. A call showing a St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.) number therefore nominally comes from a landline, cable or VoIP platform rather than a locally assigned cellphone.
How the allocation was built up
St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.)’s dated assignments run from 2008 to 2022. The busiest period was 2005–2009, when 1 prefixes went to 1 carrier. 1 prefixes (25%) 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.
St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.)’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 Videotron Ltd. in 2008. The most recent arrivals are TELUS Quebec (2022) and Videotron Ltd. (2008), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.).
St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.) has just 4 prefixes (40,000 numbers): a very small rate centre, typical of a village or rural area served by a single switching office.
Videotron Ltd. leads with 50.0% of the prefixes, but 2 competitors have set up in St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.): a market where the incumbent keeps the edge without exclusivity.
Demand remains steady: 33.3% of the dated prefixes go back to the last ten years, the most active period being 2005–2009. The rate centre is growing at a regular rather than explosive pace.
The register also shows 1 prefix assigned but not yet in service in St-Honore (Temiscouata Co.) (Cogeco Connexion Inc): numbers that will start showing up on call displays in the coming months.

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.
