If you know who the numbers are assigned to you can contact them about leasing or purchasing them. They most likely will not want to sell you the number, but will lease it to you and allow you to point it to your own RESPORG. If you don't know who the owner is, you can always look up the RESPORG company that manages it and see if they'll help you identify the owner.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div> </div>
<div>I have a customer looking for a vanity pattern for the TF and we found that a single company owns most of them and all the numbers in a block around this pattern also and just has them redirected to a promotional IVR</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am assuming these are part of a big block and they probably just have all unused DID's routed to this default destination.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What I was curious to find out though. Has anyone had any luck acquiring DID's from third parties? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This situation feels like deja vu just like the process of trying to acquire domain names so I am sure as soon as you express interest the price starts multiplying :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone ever done anything like this and been successful? Are their companies that do this as a service or I'd like to hear any advice in how to approach this carefully without paying a massively inflated sum.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If anyone has any experiences/tips/etc would be interested to hear it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>
