You meant your old number is with your old provider?
You can only get the number from that provider and no other provider can help.
To be honest, unless you know some mobile agent with the provider and willing to help (and know the backdoor) , it is very hard to get a specific number these days.

IF the number is not currently in use (try calling it to see if someone answers or it goes to another person's voicemail), you might want to request Customer Support Agent assistance towards possibly having that number assigned to a Public Mobile activation request.
They may ask you to allow the system to generate a number first, then might be able to do some back-end changes. It's a long shot, but likely your best shot at formally making this request.
To contact a Customer Support Agent, there are 2 methods:
Watch for their response in your Community private mailbox which will be indicated by a number on the small envelope icon to the left of your Community avatar.

Did you try calling it to see if it is used by someone else?
Where did this number originally come from, what provider? That is where it would go back to.
Only way to see numbers you could get is continue to check the numbers that come up, when you choose the city. Try surrounding areas to get other options as well.

Only the other carrier can help you get that phone number if it was originally issued by them.
