St-Pierre-de-Wakefield’s share of its area codes

Within area code 873, St-Pierre-de-Wakefield accounts for only 6 of 667 prefixes (0.9%): the code is dominated by Sherbrooke and spread over 162 rate centres. Within area code 819, St-Pierre-de-Wakefield accounts for only 1 of 770 prefixes (0.1%): the code is dominated by Ottawa-Hull and spread over 211 rate centres.

Who holds these numbers

Fibernetics Corporation holds the largest share at 2 prefixes, 28.6% of the total, ahead of 4 other carriers. Code by code: in 873, Fibernetics Corporation leads with 2 of 6 prefixes ahead of 3 others; Bell Canada is the only holder in 819. No carrier holds prefixes in every one of St-Pierre-de-Wakefield’s 2 area codes, while 5 appear in just one.

Wireless and wireline

None of St-Pierre-de-Wakefield’s holders carries a mobility brand in its registered name: all 7 prefixes belong to wireline or wholesale carriers, among them Fibernetics Corporation, TELUS Quebec, Bell Canada and Distributel. A call showing a St-Pierre-de-Wakefield number therefore nominally comes from a landline, cable or VoIP platform rather than a locally assigned cellphone.

How the allocation was built up

St-Pierre-de-Wakefield’s dated assignments run from 2015 to 2023. The busiest period was 2015–2019, when 3 prefixes went to 3 carriers. 1 prefixes (14%) carry no date in the register: these are the historic pre-1999 assignments, the wireline bedrock of the rate centre. Since 2020 another 3 prefixes have been added, so the rate centre is still growing.

St-Pierre-de-Wakefield’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 TekSavvy Solutions Inc in 2015. The most recent arrivals are Fibernetics Corporation (2020), Distributel (2018) and TELUS Quebec (2017), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in St-Pierre-de-Wakefield.

St-Pierre-de-Wakefield has just 7 prefixes (70,000 numbers): a very small rate centre, typical of a village or rural area served by a single switching office.

No single carrier dominates St-Pierre-de-Wakefield: the leader, Fibernetics Corporation, holds only 28.6% of the prefixes against 4 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 2015–2019. St-Pierre-de-Wakefield is among the rate centres where demand for numbers is still rising quickly.

What a St-Pierre-de-Wakefield number tells you

A number attached to St-Pierre-de-Wakefield tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Quebec, most often Fibernetics Corporation. It does not tell you where the handset is today: a subscriber may have ported the number to any of the 5 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 St-Pierre-de-Wakefield: code 873-676 is recorded for Fibernetics Corporation, so every 873-676-XXXX number (10,000 possible) descends from that assignment. “St-Pierre-de-Wakefield, Quebec” there names a rate centre, not a municipality, and several area codes overlay it.

Had a call from a St-Pierre-de-Wakefield 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

   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.
