This InfiMobile prepaid plan is a low cost option for keeping a backup line active, especially for 2FA and occasional calls, and the physical SIM can be ported into an older iPhone. The main appeal is the year of service at a steady price, with some comparing it favorably to similar plans that offer more talk and text or different data limits. The biggest limits are the small 100 voice minutes and 100 SMS each month, plus the 500MB data cap. Hotspot use and SIM enabled devices like watches, iPads, and routers are not supported, so it fits best as a basic spare line.
People who only need a small amount of talk and text, because the included 100 voice minutes and 100 SMS can cover very light use.
People who want to use the line for a kid's tracker app or other data-heavy device, because the 500MB cap may run out quickly and hotspot use is not supported.
For many users it is too limited, especially if you need regular texting or calling. The plan includes only 100 voice minutes and 100 SMS per month, so it fits backup-phone or 2FA use better than everyday communication.
The thread does not confirm whether data stops completely or slows down after 500MB. The practical concern is that the plan is only 500MB total, so it is best suited to very light use like 2FA or occasional checking rather than a tracker app that needs ongoing data.
Hotspot use is not supported on this plan, so the 500MB data allotment cannot be shared to other devices. That makes the small data bucket less useful if you were hoping to tether.

I've had this plan for two years now and this is the normal price. I use it for 2FA and for a backup phone. No complaints. Once a month I make a couple calls just to confirm that it is working.

Is it easy to port in a number, particularly from google voice or number barn?
Google voice numbers don't work for all of those websites that require txt msg to log in. They work for a lot of them but not all...
I guess ymmv on that. They work for 99% of the many that I use compared to many years ago. Or just do a passkey at this point, to just need your face or finger unlock. Or 2 factor authentication. If you really want that number, keeping it on GV is the key. For the slim chance none of those options work, just use the number it does come with. Fairly simple to change the number if you go with another carrier after the year.
Last time I got a plan from infi they charged the whole year of taxes too
Yep, that part sucks in Chicago for many prepaid carriers. I've had to order through other areas, like a brother in San Francisco, for this reason, though I understand you get an eSIM and use a virtual card with a cheaper zip code for this reason.
