If so, you can buy a SIM from them, and call them again to activate a prepaid service. If they want more money, just say you are going to buy the airtime at the store. Then port that number over once you get your 416 number.

I dont have a SIM card but I want to know if you have any 416 area code numbers before I buy one from you guys. Is that all I should ask?

Thank you for clearing that up I appreciate it!

Virgin SIM cards are easier to get for $5 at any The Source (formerly Radio Shack) store. Telus has the best chance for getting a 416 number, from what I heard.

Before you buy anything, call each company's customer service line and see if they even have 416 numbers. You usually do not have to buy airtime to activate a prepaid account.

It is going to cost you money to get a 416 number. usually the cost of the SIM card though.

If you buy a modern iphone, one that does 3G, all these SIM cards will work. I would not really care if they work though unless you want to actually use the service. I thought your goal was to have a 416 number from Speakout. This is the only way to do it, unless you can buy a used Speakout SIM card which already has a 416 number.

Also I'll be getting an AT&T iPhone and unlocking it to use with speakout or a Rogers one so will the SIM from Telus, Fido or Virgin even work in it? Shouldnt I be looking to get a SIM from Rogers or something?

You have no choice when it comes to numbers from Speakout, and it is highly doubtful you would get a 416 number from Speakout's random selection. So you need to sign up for a carrier that still has 416 numbers, usually incumbent telcos, and port the number over.

Specifically I want a 416 area code.

Can someone let me know the best way to go about accomplishing that?
