You can get the SS7 link for a few hundred bucks a month:

But you can just connect to a carrier SS7 network because you bought an SS7 gateway appliance or because bought a SIP trunk to some third party. It doesn't work like this. You need to have an agreement with a carrier to even talk to their gateway. These are usually well vetted as well because you are entering into a financial agreement with a carrier when you connect to them this way.
