So, I'm making progress and I called Mint Mobile who will refund my money as I had a 7 days test run after paying for 3 months.  Apparently I need to find a Verizon type plan like Mint as I have very good coverage in my area from my Straight Talk plan, but I don't want to pay that much.  Too bad because I was very hopeful with the Mint plan working.
08/03/2020 I just got my Mint SIM and set it up on UBports CE. Added the APN information for Mint and connected to their network. I am able to send and receive calls but no sound at all on my end or on the receiver's end. I am also able to send and receive texts. I do not see any sound settings specifically for call volume in the UBports setting app.

The volume side rockers do not seem to work when I am using the Mobian distro on a SD card but at least I am able to make and receive calls using my T-Mobile SIM. On Mint and Mobian, I am able to make and receive both calls and texts although the sound quality sounds a little hollow. I did not have to input any of Mint's APN settings when using Mobian but I do not know if there is any carry over of information from the UBport's settings.
Fix for no audio in ubports calls, camera (requires script and latest dev build), and vol rockers in mobian are coming. Give it a little time to get upstream  UvolMan in ubports open store gives you better control over volume settings.
