How to buy the $60-per-year (= $5.00 per month) redpocket cell-phone plan on ebay. The $5/mo plan is the lowest price plan, listed under "360-day plans" at redpocket website as the "Basic" $5.00/month. Note you can NOT buy it directly from the redpocket site but you have follow the link to ebay-redpocket site, which is https://www.ebay.com/itm/133058476404 as of Nov 2020. For years now I have reliably bought and used the $60/year plan for several phones The trick is, after the purchase on ebay, be sure to watch for next few days for an email to your email-address associated with ebay from eBay - redpocketstore with subject Red Pocket Mobile eBay Activation Code and a code, aka PIN, such as 99998774919999. This needs to be used in 90 days, and is what you provide when asked for a PIN under the payments section of the redpocket site.
Only once could I not find the email, but given the purchase info from ebay, the redpocket folks were able to give PIN to me in a text-chat.
