Get an 854 number
There are two ways to get a 854 number. A new number can come from a provider plan: you pick it when you sign up, from the numbers that provider holds in the code. A seller advertises numbers it already has, often with a pattern, at a one-time price; afterwards you transfer the number to a provider.
