Residential phone numbers are also known as land lines. When any given residential phone number is disconnected because of a lack of payment, or because the previous owner simply closed the phone number account, there is a period of 60 to 90 days before the number is available to other customers. If you know about a phone number that is disconnected and you want to get that number for your land line, there are several steps you must take to find out if the number is available to the public and you can get it for yourself.
