If I had a windfall of money, then there will be a desire to use the telephone numbers as quickly as possible. If I was to sell my telephone number, I will immediately use the current line that I will sell to contact everyone I know and let them know of the change of telephone number. I will then proceed with the process to sell the telephone number. This makes the most sense, and while I am sure there are people with no sense, this would be assumed.
Day 1
I will acquire an arbitrator to negotiate the prices with the number owners. I will offer him incentives to get as low of a price as possible, but will have a limit on what I will spend. The arbitrator will know that limit. If I get the numbers, I will obviously pay the arbitrator for his skills and time.
Week 1
I will assume that the people that owns the numbers I will want is willing to sell. I will transfer the 412 number to my home line. While it is still with the cellular carrier, I will set call forwarding to forward to my current home phone line. I will then disable the account from my cellular phone. The eSIM will still be there, but it will not be used. Once the port takes effect, I can recycle the current home phone number, and give it a new purpose. The account extension will be 100. This line will also be used with SIP Broker calls, or calls from other people on my SIP network.
The 413 number will be move to my SIP provider. I will then reactivate my pager, and set up the 413 number to forward to the pager number once I have it completely setup. I will invest in high quality AAA batteries that are rechargeable. I will then assign this number to my WHOIS contact information, therefore eliminating the need for the current voicemail number that I have now.
The 724 number will be ported to the SIP provider, and will be assigned for faxes, and intended to receive efaxes through the number. The incoming faxes will be converted into a .pdf file, and emailed to me. Once that happens, I can select to retire the current fax number. Since I will use an ATA (Analog Telephone Adapter) to send faxes, this line will need extension 101, and will display the 724 number when the call is being made to send a fax.
I currently have the 855 number. Right now people calling this number will ring my home phone, and will also ring my cellular phone at the same time. I will decide which phone to answer, and will have to pay incoming minutes, plus forwarding minutes if I was to answer with my cellular phone. This is fine, and nothing will change. Since I don’t have to show this telephone number when making a call, there wills be no extension needed.
The 878 number, I will assume will be a cellular phone. If so, porting should only take a day, and I will know that there will still be people that would call for the previous owner. With that said, I will tell them they have the wrong number, and they will have to contact the previous owner through other means.
Week 2
Everything should process just fine now. For now, my fax line will be incoming faxes only. Once I move into my 4 Story Building, I should be able to setup the new printer I would have purchased to connect with the acquired ATA. The fax line will now be able to send faxes. This will be important if I was to have tenants from my $10,000,000 windfall. The important thing is I have all of the numbers I will need.
Month 3
I will assume that the 3 Story Building, and 4 Story Building would have been both gutted and renovated. I will promote the rentals, and target those on Section-8. For them to call me, I will give the 855 telephone number out. This will ring both the Home, and Cellular at the same time, and give the proposed tenant a better chance of reaching me. Once they sign the lease, they will receive a page where they will receive all of my telephone numbers, and the rationale for calling them.
