Reply to comment by RainbowCrown71 in Calling all New Yorkers: A few numbers with the 212 area code are back in circulation by Mannyplaid

> NumberBarn

Just checked and it looks like they only rent them (212s) out at lower prices, if you want to buy one, they're in the thousands. And the monthly fees aren't cheap, most are $40-$100 / month.

You can buy one outright for $150.

I bought one from there years ago, think it cost about $80? I used to use it for business, I've got it attached to a Google Voice line that just forwards to my cellphone. Doesn't cost me anything, I'm just sitting on it in case it comes in useful one day.

No, you have to dig a little bit but I bought one for $9.95 since the search function is made to sell you the exclusive ones.

It was $9.95 + $2 to port it away. There were about 100+ numbers at that price range. If you want to keep it at numberbarn, then yes you are renting it.

Type 212, then in filters put “Get It Now” and sort by price and a lot should come up.

My roommate got lucky and got a 212 for like 50 back in like 2014. It was cause he runs a business and wanted the 212 but he probs wouldn’t have paid more than 100 for it.
