I guess I'm not quite sure even how it works. When I got my first phone (sprint), I was able to select my number such that the last 4 digits were the same as my landline. I don't think that's even possible now.
Do certain carriers have only certain prefixes? Are certain carriers more agreeable to picking the number you want? My thought was maybe it's best to get a cheap phone from another carrier, then transfer the number to the carrier that has the phone you want...
