I would like some control over the phone number I get. It says on the main page that you cannot choose. However, there seem to be 3 ways around that:
1) Port a number in from a different carrier
2) Buy somebody else's SIM
3) Call speak out and ask them to change my number. Apparently they will do this if I am getting too much spam.
It seems like #2 is feasible except nobody else is selling. I think #3 might not work out. So I guess we are left with #1. What is the cheapest way to get a new number at a different carrier where I am able to choose the number, or choose from a selection of numbers?

Perhaps you could go to a site like voip.ms and choose a number for Canada/Province if you are in a major area and then perhaps you can port it .
I have numbers I chose there but have not ported any.

It looks quite possible, but their terms of service say:
The customer agrees to not purchase DID numbers from VoIP.ms with the sole intention to port them out to another service. VoIP.ms reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to disable the purchase of new DID numbers from an account that presents this pattern and may charge a port-out fee to allow the port out of numbers removed on this fashion.
At VoIP.ms sole discretion, you may incur a port away fee for any DID number(s) leaving our network as this is a pass-through charge from VoIP.ms carrier(s).
