Can Anyone Suggest an Available "Vanity" Mobile Number? Any Carrier OK; Can Port Later

I'm looking for some so-called "vanity" mobile numbers, cheap to get.

I was lucky enough to pick up some vanity numbers from Amaysim pretty cheap; some time ago.

There must be some hidden gems with other carriers.
Today I saw a Telstra store displaying a list of available good looking numbers on a promotional offer specifically targeting Uni students.

Still, sometimes some smart looking numbers escape the Telcos' labelling as "vanity" and there had indeed been instances where potential "golden" or "platinum" numbers had been picked up in the wild by savvy number hunters. They think of and note down nice sounding number combinations- ones which are different from the usual patterns of "vanity" as per Telcos. Ring the number to check if they're already taken; if not, to pick up with a -nowadays- free SIM))

If they can be bought cheap, they can be sold. Some folks do just that. example here, but there are many others.

My requirement is for some easily memorable numbers for a small business being newly set-up.
Not for resale.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks in advance :)

    Try trawling though the big box of starter packs at Office Works. Activate and transfer to a better phone company.
    I found half a dozen great numbers there for $2

    Go in store, ask rep if they will help you find a new number for a new casual plan. Telstra may still do this. Probably other carriers too. Just need to find a sales rep that needs another new connection for their budget. After connected, convert to prepaid, and port out. Converting to prepaid first will avoid getting a bill for the port out fee. There are tonnes of numbers not marked as gold/silver that can be nabbed for free.

    Saw Optus are doing free gold numbers when you sign up to a 24 month contract
