Get an Omaha number
Two paths lead to an Omaha number. Providers hand out a new number along with their plan, selected at sign-up from the numbers they hold in the code. Sellers put numbers they already hold up for sale, frequently with a pattern, at a one-time price. You then transfer the number you bought to a provider.
