Getting a 209 number
Two paths lead to a 209 number. With a provider, a new number comes with the plan. It is picked at sign-up, from the numbers the provider holds in the code. Sellers list the numbers they already hold, often with a pattern, at a one-time price. After that, you move the number to a provider.
