   Since 212 numbers were depleted over a decade ago, New Yorkers have used   
   a variety of questionable methods and paid hundreds of dollars to   
   acquire their own. But while 212 remains an extremely rare commodity, a   
   few numbers have now come back into circulation.   
      
   Brenley Carmine, 23, stumbled upon this last week. He wanted to add a   
   second line onto his phone, he told Gothamist, so he bought an eSIM from   
   US Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO. An MVNO provides   
   users with an inexpensive wireless SIM card that draws telephone and   
   data services, including phone numbers, from one of the major cellular   
   carriers.
