Get a number with the 336 code
There are two routes to a 336 number. Signing up for a provider's plan assigns a new number, selected from the numbers the provider holds in the code. A seller advertises numbers it already holds, often ones that follow a pattern, at a one-time price. After that, you move the number to a provider.
