Within area code 613, Vankleek Hill accounts for only 5 of 772 prefixes (0.6%): the code is dominated by Ottawa-Hull and spread over 132 rate centres.

Who holds these numbers

Iristel Inc. holds the largest share at 3 prefixes, 20.0% of the total, ahead of 10 other carriers. Code by code: in 343, Iristel Inc. leads with 3 of 8 prefixes ahead of 5 others; in 613, Bell Canada leads with 2 of 5 prefixes ahead of 3 others; in 753, Fibernetics Corporation leads with 1 of 2 prefixes ahead of 1 others. No carrier holds prefixes in every one of Vankleek Hill’s 3 area codes, while 10 appear in just one.

Wireless and wireline

3 of Vankleek Hill’s 15 prefixes (20.0%) are held by carriers whose registered name marks a wireless business: Bell Mobility, Fido Solutions Inc and Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Wireless). Wireline prefixes still outnumber them, carried by Iristel Inc, Bell Canada, Fibernetics Corporation and Comwave Networks. This is a sort by name, not a licence lookup, and a mobile prefix may have been ported to another network since.

How the allocation was built up

Vankleek Hill’s dated assignments run from 2000 to 2026. The busiest period was 2015–2019, when 4 prefixes went to 4 carriers. 2 prefixes (13%) 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.

Vankleek Hill’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 Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Wireless) in 2000. The most recent arrivals are Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Cable) (2026), TELUS Integrated Communications (2017) and Comwave Networks (2016), a sign that new carriers are still asking for numbers in Vankleek Hill.

Vankleek Hill has only 15 prefixes, or 150,000 numbers: a small rate centre, where the arrival of a single new carrier visibly changes the landscape.

No single carrier dominates Vankleek Hill: the leader, Iristel Inc., holds only 20.0% of the prefixes against 10 competitors, a sign of a highly fragmented market where cable companies, mobility brands and VoIP providers weigh as much as the incumbent.

Demand remains steady: 30.8% of the dated prefixes go back to the last ten years, the most active period being 2015–2019. The rate centre is growing at a regular rather than explosive pace.

What a Vankleek Hill number tells you

A number attached to Vankleek Hill tells you that its prefix was issued to a carrier for this rate centre in Ontario, 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 11 carriers present here or to a VoIP service usable anywhere. Nor does it tell you who is calling: caller ID can be spoofed, and an Ontario area code is easy to borrow to look local.

Reading a register entry for Vankleek Hill: code 343-304 is recorded for Iristel Inc., so every 343-304-XXXX number (10,000 possible) descends from that assignment. “Vankleek Hill, Ontario” there names a rate centre, not a municipality, and several area codes overlay it.

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
