Get hold of a 909 number
Two paths take you to a 909 number. With a provider, the new number comes as part of the plan. It is chosen when you sign up, from the numbers that provider holds in the code. Numbers a seller already holds, often with a pattern, are listed for a one-time price. After that, you move the number to a provider.
