The US number they're assigning is there for one reason only:
It helps US carriers identify the card as US SIM rather than a European one...(so it belongs to the US carrier involved in the deal). So the assigned US number is really there for Roaming purposes...as long as there is one assigned it really doesn't matter what it is...The expiry limits make it sound like some sort of Prepaid plan with one of the carriers..

It is likely that your own US DID forwarded to your +44 number will be more reasonably priced than receiving calls to your US number assigned to the SIM...
