Raleigh numbers: how to get one
Two routes will get you a Raleigh number. With its plan, a provider hands out a new number, chosen at sign-up from the pool it holds in the code. Sellers list numbers they already hold, often with a pattern, at a one-time price; after that you move the number to a provider.
