You cant buy from Page Plus direct. You have to go thru there sellers.
Unless this changed in the past 6 months or so.

That's why you see so many on eBay selling Page Plus time.
We have a guy that sells time in his little mom and pop store.
Funny thing is our town does not have local numbers for page plus users.
