Get your own 361 number
There are two ways to get a 361 number. One option is a provider, which assigns a new number along with its plan. You choose that number when you sign up, from among the numbers that provider already holds for the code. A seller posts numbers it already holds, often ones with a pattern, and asks a one-time price for them. You then transfer the number to a provider.
