Be aware that both the first line and the free second line must be on the Dark Star (ATT) network, and you cannot switch to other networks for more than 36 days in a year, or you will be charged the
full fee. What this means is that you are committing to AT&T for a year, on two lines. I've had excellent service and connectivity from US Mobile on the Warp Network (Verizon), but my free Dark Star line is mediocre at best on my 2024 Razr. Downloads of 4.5mbps/ uploads under 1mbps. That is despite ATT map showing good coverage here.
I recommend that anyone considering this do a test drive on the Dark Star Network first, as it is the only way to determine if it will work for you. Try it at home, work, and any other places you hang out.
I'd recommend not falling for this "deal" and just paying monthly for whatever network you want to try. Only if it works great would I commit to it. If the free line were my main line (it is not, I have Warp on my main line) I would get rid of it even if that meant forfeiting a free line.)

Every time I work with USM staff they are competent, polite, and patient. And almost always get things right on the first effort!
To compare, "US-based" Consumer Cellular is a joke for "customer service."
Very easy to port out. No issues. It's great being able to switch between all three networks, which is unique to US Mobile.
My wife was hesitant to switch, but she's had no issues at all on Dark Star (AT&T). I have RCS issues on Dark Star with a OnePlus 13, but no issues on Warp (Verizon).

I don't know what happens if you sign up for Dark Star then pay to switch to another network. Will it invalidate the BOGO deal? No idea, but maybe someone will take the risk. Warp (Verizon) is the best network for me, so I won't switch, but it seems like a decent deal for those with good AT&T reception.
Unsure if you need the code OVERDRIVE for the first line.
Dark Star was launched a year or so ago and runs on At&t network which I've not tried directly.
You're not. Unlimited flex isn't a network it's a plan type. The networks are Warp, Light speed and Darkstar.
You can be on Flex plans without being on Darkstar network.
If you want any of these recent deals, they all require Darkstar network.
how long do i have before I must port in?
dont want to waste my existing month of paid service

If you are on Warp or Lightspeed for more than 39 days out of the annual plan allotment, the promo is invalidated.

I tried dark star, didn't support RCS, so group chat/imessage with Androids won't work.
Else speeds were meh for me, Verizon (warp) still the best.
