We just got Puretalk to work in U.S. But only running Arch OS. No other IS would work.

Right now I have a Puretalk sim in a Manjaro Beta edition, and can make and receive calls and SMS, data is working.

Tested under Manjaro Beta1 with the new modem firmware.
I guess 'plainenough' did get one going with the help from a Verizon employee at the retail store, but that seems to be the only one..?
So far in the US it seems just AT&T and T-Mobile and their MVNO's are the carriers who have sim cards that work in the Pine phones.

You have to register it with an android phone, then transfer the SIM to your Pinephone

thanks @rocket2nfinity When we signed up with US Mobile they said the White card was for GSM and the Black Card was for CMDA, so we were using the white card. Perhaps the black card would work. We did not try that.
