Get yourself a 701 number
There are two routes to a 701 number. With its plan, a provider assigns a new number that you pick when you sign up, from among the numbers it holds in this code. Numbers a seller already holds are listed, often with a pattern, at a one-time price; then you transfer that number to a provider.
