FWIW, I'm testing with Mint Mobile which offer $5 trial SIM cards that work for 1 week. I even got one for just $1 at Best Buy.
I checked the IMEI and they support PinePhone:
"Congratulations! Your phone is pretty boss and will receive our fastest data speed—4G LTE!"
Watch this space.
Update:

APN settings for Mint Mobile on Debian + Phosh:
Simply go to Settings > Mobile > Access Point Names > + button to add new,
Name: Ultra
APN: Wholesale.
Then save it.
Call them up to activate using the number on their website, it was no problem. Did not have to download/install any apps from Google Play or whatever. Make sure to reboot the phone.
That's all you need...
Calls and SMS work. But I know of no OS using ModemManager that supports MMS at all. See issue: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/issues/30
