[Cialug] OT: buying a phone number

[Dave Weis]

Yes, you could order a landline and give that number to twilio to port out. By the time you’re done it will cost about $100 in install and first month costs. If you aren’t picky about the number I’ll let you port one of ours out for pizza and beer at the next LUG meeting.

Subject: [Cialug] OT: buying a phone number

I'm playing with Twilio, which is a pretty sweet service. 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.
