[Cialug] OT: buying a phone number

[Aaron Jensen]

You can purchase a number by way of a prepaid SIM card on eBay and then port the number over to them. I've never purchased a number for the 515 area code but I would check there first.

Unfortunately they have no 515 area code phone numbers, but they say you can buy one from another carrier and then port it over to them [1]. Does anyone know how you buy a phone number? Can I just call Qwest and order one? I find it interesting how they say they have one for nearly every area except Alaska and Hawaii, but none in 515. Maybe the caucuses used them all up.
