No. It has to be a 403.
I was so choked when I cancelled a cell phone and lost the number because I didn't port it over before canceling. I thought I did it in a logical order, but nope. So then I had to get a new number, and all they had were 587 numbers. It was devastating. My sadness must have been obvious because the CSR told me to keep calling back every day and see if there were any 403 numbers. Because of how it works, sometimes there are, and sometimes there aren't.

It took a few days, and I finally got a 403 number. This was almost 3 years ago. And I still get collection agency calls for some guy (or girl?) named Jing Joo. Annoying, but at least I'm an OG with a 403.
