There is a Vibrant Market for Used (Ummm Vintage) 212 Phone Numbers
If you have an iPhone 4, you're sort of cutting-edge, but if you have an iPhone 4 with a 212 number, you're a walking statement of ironic cool, one toe in the future with a nod back to the landlines of yesteryear, because 212 area codes are the techy rich kid thing, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The demand for 212 phone numbers is largely because they're all used up -- hence the reason we've advanced to 646, 917, etc. And when someone cancels a 212, it must be taken out of circulation for 60 days before it can be recirculated a/k/a adopted by a techy new kid on the block. This dynamic has led to a new business -- selling 212 numbers to trendy suckers for hundreds of dollars on sites like My 212 Phone number .com and Craigslist. Easy-to-remember numbers with double zeros on the end can cost over $1,000 -- justify it as you will, a piece of New York history or a big, fat money-suck.
But wait, what if the 212 number is 212-646-9170 -- is that steeply discounted? Or does it gush I <3 NY so strongly that it's extremely valuable? Well, I tried calling it, and it appeared on my (212 landline) screen as "invalid" with a busy signal, so perhaps somewhere it's up for grabs!
212 Number's can be ported to your current cell phone account or landline number in less than 5 minutes. After you place your order we will contact you with your Number, Account Number and PIN. All you need to do is call your service provide and give them this details. Your 212 number will be activated in less than 5 minutes.
