- derefr 10y agoAFAIK you can get a number from a different carrier and then transfer it to the VoIP carrier. When queried, it will still show up as "owned" by the original carrier.
- toast0 10y agoIt depends on how they classify; numbers are issued in blocks of 1000, and the allocations are public knowledge, but you can also do a real time carrier lookup, which changes after porting completes.
- Nexxxeh 10y agoThere's a guy that does an SMS to web gateway with real telephony hardware. You pay by bitcoin and its accessible over TOR. You pay, he pops in a topped up PAYG SIM. You have a real mobile telephone number. You can run your own private one at home with a Raspberry Pi/ttl serial adapter and a cheap SIM module. Or use a dongle.
