Pick up a 626 number
There are two routes to a 626 number. With its plan, a provider hands out a new number, and you pick it at sign-up from the ones it holds in the code. Sellers list numbers they already hold, often with a pattern, and charge a one-time price; you then move the number over to a provider.
