Wireless and wireline
None of St-Tite-des-Caps’s holders carries a mobility brand in its registered name: all 9 prefixes belong to wireline or wholesale carriers, among them Iristel Inc, Bell Canada, Distributel and Fibernetics Corporation. A call showing a St-Tite-des-Caps number therefore nominally comes from a landline, cable or VoIP platform rather than a locally assigned cellphone.
How the allocation was built up
St-Tite-des-Caps’s dated assignments run from 2007 to 2024. The busiest period was 2020–2024, when 4 prefixes went to 4 carriers. 1 prefixes (11%) carry no date in the register: these are the historic pre-1999 assignments, the wireline bedrock of the rate centre. Since 2020 another 4 prefixes have been added, so the rate centre is still growing.
St-Tite-des-Caps’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 2007. The most recent arrivals are IXICA Communications Inc. (2022), ISP Telecom Inc. (2022) and Fibernetics Corporation (2021), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in St-Tite-des-Caps.
St-Tite-des-Caps has just 9 prefixes (90,000 numbers): a very small rate centre, typical of a village or rural area served by a single switching office.
No single carrier dominates St-Tite-des-Caps: the leader, Iristel Inc., holds only 33.3% of the prefixes against 6 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 2020–2024. St-Tite-des-Caps is among the rate centres where demand for numbers is still rising quickly.
| Period | Prefixes | Carriers |
|---|---|---|
| 2005–2009 | 1 | 1 |
| 2015–2019 | 3 | 2 |
| 2020–2024 | 4 | 4 |

What a St-Tite-des-Caps number tells you
A number attached to St-Tite-des-Caps tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Quebec, most often Iristel Inc.. It does not tell you where the handset is today: a subscriber may have ported the number to any of the 7 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-Tite-des-Caps: code 581-804 is recorded for Iristel Inc., so every 581-804-XXXX number (10,000 possible) descends from that assignment. “St-Tite-des-Caps, Quebec” there names a rate centre, not a municipality, and several area codes overlay it.

Had a call from a St-Tite-des-Caps number?
No clear pattern in reports on these numbers yet. If a call worried you:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
