They are part of the T-Mobile network, so same coverage.
We pay $80 or $90 for 3 lines. You’re looking at $60 for two lines. Unlimited talk/text. 4G I get a few gigs per line before it drops to 3g speed. I’ve personally never hit my limit, but I’m on wifi most places.

5G is only useful if you have a phone with 5G and need the faster internet speed when you’re not somewhere with wifi.
