Get your own 651 number
There are two ways to get a 651 number. A provider hands out a new number with its plan, and you pick it at sign-up from the numbers that provider holds in this code. Sellers post numbers they already hold, often with a pattern, at a one-time price; you then transfer that number to a provider.
