Update:
I've finally had some success with the AT&T sim for Tracphone. I went to a different area today with better cell tower coverage and was able to make my first call from my pinephone. Very excited about that! I made a successful call from both PMOS(plasma) and from UBPorts. The call from PMOS had sound, albeit very bad sound, I could hardly hear the other party, but the call was a general success. However on UBPorts I had no sound at all, and the other party couldn't hear me. Maybe there are some instructions I haven't followed (although I do have a script that runs all the commands to enable sound from Lukes 'quick tutorial...' https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8923).
I'll make another post if there are more updates.

Original post outlining problems:
I'm struggling with getting the sim to work currently with tracphone with an AT&T sim card. It doesn't work so far on ubports or on pmos (phosh).
On ubuntu touch, on the network screen, it shows at first 'searching' and then it will say denied. I activated the sim from another phone so the sim should be active (maybe I'll try it again in a few minutes just to be sure it had time to activate).
Some additional info - I've tried sim cards from 3 different carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, in ubports. The Verizon sim is simply not recognized, the T-Mobile and AT&T sims just show searching and then denied. The AT&T sim is the only one I've activated, but it does the same thing whether activated or not, so far.
I thought I saw another thread indicating t-mobile was the only carrier to work in the US but I'm not certain I remember completely accurately. I think t-mobile gets crappy or no service at all where I'm at so that won't work for me, most likely.
Just wanted to leave this feedback and hopefully update it once I've had some success.
