Get yourself a 276 number
There are two ways to get a 276 number. Your plan from a provider comes with a new number, which is picked at sign-up from the numbers that provider holds in the code. A seller offers numbers it already has, often with a pattern, at a one-time price; you then transfer the number to a provider.
