Deal Details
T-Mobile's famous 20% off entire account for life hookup promo is finally back. New customers who manage to get a friends and family code from a T-Mobile employee can enter the code on the website below and sign up for a postpaid account to get 20% off the entire account (service cost, not EIP/phone costs). New customers only, must not have been a previous T-Mobile customer in the last 90 days for the line used. Port in required. Ends 12/31

NEW INFO 12/23/19: We have some codes left on the subreddit and discord.
Subreddit: https://reddit.com/r/tmobile (see the pinned post and comment to ask for a code)
Discord: https://discord.gg/FFNqGvs(read the #hookup-info channel to enter a queue for a code)

Pricing with Magenta plan:
3 lines: $96/mo
4 lines: $112/mo
Additional lines: +$16

Pricing with Magenta Plus plan:
3 lines: $112/mo
4 lines: $136/mo
Additional lines: +$24

NEW INFO 12/19/19: I have reason to believe the mworks $200 gift card offer and the hookup offer will not stack. You use this offer at your own risk. (If you don't know what mworks is you can ignore this warning)

IF THE CHECK STATUS PAGE SAYS "5G INSIDER" AS THE PROMO NAME, IT IS THE 20% OFF CODE!

NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY!

This promo is global to the account and if it works like last time will stack with all other T-Mobile promotions like the free OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G phone with trade in.

Hookup is not eligible for the following plans:
  • Essentials
  • 55+
  • Military
  • First Responder
New business accounts ARE eligible.

https://hookup.t-mobile.com/

LOOKING FOR A CODE? See the r/tmobile subreddit's pinned post, and look for the pinned comment in that post. A username is listed that you can DM to get a code.

NOTE! THE 6-8 WEEK ESTIMATE FOR VERIFICATION IS WORST CASE SCENARIO! You can typically expect a verification SMS to the line you signed up with within 24 hours. Make sure you wait for verification before signing up for a new account! You can check the status of verification on the same hookup website.

CORRECTION: You do not need to wait for the SMS. Just enter your info to reserve a code, and then head to a store to sign up. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AN SMS UNTIL AFTER YOU ACTUALLY SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT!

I get this message ... This offer is no longer available. For more information, please contact T-Mobile Customer Care at 1.800.937.8997 for assistance.

I have already ported the lined to t-mo and trying to add the code using one of my phone numbers.

I have 3 lines on the account. Can I have just one code entered for all lines? Or need to enter 3 codes.

Does it matter which line the code is entered for, as long it is one of the 3 lines on my account?
Make sure your code has not been used. Use private browsing mode to enter the code. You only need one code for one number to get discount apply to whole account. It is better to use the main line, the first line on your account and your line can't be with T-Mobile for past 90 days

Hi all. Super late to this. I was able to scramble and reserve a code. I plan to port over at least 4 lines from AT&T (under one account). Do I need to reserve a separate code for each number, or will one code work for all lines in my account? Thanks.

Is port over from Ting going to work for this? Is it won't because it's a T-MOBILE MVNO.

Late to the party and hope someone can answer my question. TIA

1) Can I reserve a code by 12/31/2019 but port over my lines after? Or everything has to be done by 12/31?

2) When I go to Costco to port in my lines to T-Mobile, what do I give the rep so that I will get the 20% off?

also, T-Mobile asked for last 4 digit of SSN during code reservation, I found that very odd

1 It should be Ok. If you have problem with the promo contact TMobile after you port in.
2 You don't need to mention it in costco, otherwise they may ask for more question and hassles.

I don't think it is a problem for giving TMobile last 4 SSN, when you go to open the account you have to provide full ssn.

No. You only need one code to reserve with one line. I think When you go to open the account with TMobile, set up the number signup promo as the first line to make the progress easlier.

Thank you ... private browsing helped Smilie
I was able to add the code. Ported 3 lines from H2oWireless, 3rd line free offer, Magenta plan, total comes to 96 incl. of taxes. Not a bad deal at all. Also took advantage of trading in 3 iPhones offer at Costco. So overall ... Happy !!

Thanks guys you all rock !!

Thanks and repped! So I can register the primary line with the code before 12/31, but port in the line to t-mobile after 12/31 as long as its within 14 days?

Ah crap. I bought the Ting sims for this very purpose of using for porting out. Any idea on options at this time?
Google voice? I've done it before for sprint. Is there any other cheaper / easier options you could point me to?
Also would you be able to confirm if it's okay to port now given my account is already setup and I didn't register the code for a number I will port?

Google voice, H2O. If you already have TMobile line which you want to port out then port back, mostly it won't work
