Get an 848 number
There are two routes to a 848 number. Providers assign a new number as part of their plan, chosen at sign-up from the numbers they hold in the code. A seller posts numbers it already holds. These often come with a pattern and are sold at a one-time price. After buying, you move it to a provider.
