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).

Any recommendation on what do if I only need 3 lines? Buy 2 BOGO, what to do with the 4th? Can it be gifted or sold to someone not on my account? Some confusion on this.
Me and 2 kids need new lines, but wife has until April 26 on mint 12 mo prepaid, so if I get 2 premium lines and to free starter lines, I'll have an extra line so may not be worth it unless I can do something with the other free line.

Year 1: 348
Year 2: (32.5 + 22.5) * 12 = 55 * 12 = 660
Also, does the dark star limitation applies after the first year?
