This weekend, T-Mobile is giving away a FREE VOICE LINE! Any T-Mobile plan is eligible (even Simple Choice). New customers need to have two paid lines to get the free line. Current customers with at least two paid lines can just add a free line.

***This is an EXTREMELY RARE No-Stipulation Line (like the free lines offered back in 2016 & 2017...)

If you're new to T-Mobile and you'd like to stack this to get the 4 lines for $120 on the Magenta plan, which comes with a free Netflix account, you'll need to go to T-Mobile today/tonight (Thursday, June 25th) to start/port a 3-line account on the Magenta plan. T-Mobile is currently running a 3rd line free. All 3 lines will be $120, which includes tax.

THEN....

Starting tomorrow, Friday, June 26th, you can add a 4th line to your plan for FREE! This will give you 4 lines on the T-Mobile Magenta plan, which comes with all taxes/fees, unlimited data and a free Netflix account, for $120. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS... GO TO T-MOBILE NOW TO START THE 3-LINE DEAL FIRST.... DO NOT SIGN UP FOR FOUR LINES THINKING THE 4TH LINE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE FREE TOMORROW... IT WON'T. 3 lines TODAY, 1 line TOMORROW!

As always, start-up fees may or may not be charged, and can come to $10 per SIM and $20 per activation per line. Ask to see if any of these may be waived.

Details about the 4th line free will be on the website tomorrow (Friday, June 26th), but don't wait to start the first 3 lines today/tonight!

Terms given to me when I texted 611 about the iphone 11 promo:

​​​​Not available to port-ins from T-Mobile Prepaid, Metro by T-Mobile, free Google Voice services, MVNOs using T-Mobile's network, or numbers used with T-Mobile service in the last 90 days (known as Winback port ins).
yeah I don't know anymore but the rep that has always helping me and is very knowledgeable with all the deals in the past is porting in my google voice number and he say is no problem, never had an issue when I worked with him even if there's a hiccup he will fix them for me so I'm in good hand regardless, but it does sound like is eligible though if you read the conversation I'm having with him just now so yeah but for peace of mind I guess everyone should just through the eBay route but I'm sticking with google voice cause I like my number that I chose and I always only worked with this one rep cause I ask for him so I'm good Smilie but YMMV I guess.

Yeah I chatted with T-force yesterday and they said our plan (10SCFM4) is definitely not eligible. I was waiting to to hear from you and tobago_88 to see if you guys actually got the promo status but apparently not. So I didn't waste my spare sim card
I'm also on 10SCFM4 and I called 611 to check if the free line promo applied (611 gave it to me a couple days ago saying it was free and my plan was eligible) onto my account and they said it may take a billing cycle to show up. Is that a hoax or does it take a cycle to show the promotional offer?

The rep was able to restore my spare sim card I activated and also sent a new one to me just in case as she couldn't find out when my spare sim card will expire now. She did offer me 3 free months to use the added line, but I didn't want to keep it if it wasn't a permanent free line. Didn't need the new line anyways, but would of been great to have as a spare.
How did you find out you weren't eligible for the promotion? Online and if so where did it show?
They also gave me the "so called free" line and I called into 611 to verify the promotion applied and they are clueless and saying it may take a billing cycle to reflect.

Honestly, TMo is a joke and consolidation in the industry only means less competition, worse service, and higher prices.

Any idea how to retain a t-mobile number and still retain the offer? I'm about to get booted off a family plan and would like to start a new one with the same number but looks like you need to activate with a new number.

Costco probably isn't running this offer (based on membershipwireless.com).

Here's the page, but it appears differently depending on whether you're logged in or not. It seems like they might have removed the port-in requirement, but dropped the trade-in values for the 2nd tier? (or it might be a caching issue for me)

Here's the 2 versions:

To keep your number, port that number out (find a cheap, non-T-Mobile prepaid) and then start a new T-Mobile plan, porting your number back in. Retain what offer ... this free number? On the plan you're being booted off of or your new plan?

Looks like I have same plan that you have, additional line is $30. My plan is the SC North American Unlimited 4 Lines for $150 plus tax and 14gb of Hotspot per line. I ordered my free line on Friday through 611, the CSR had assured me that it will be free, the free line finally showed up on my account yesterday when they shipped my SIM card and yet, no "2020 Line on Us" anywhere on my account. On billing and history, it shows additional $30 on my plan now, from $150 to $180. I was puzzled and I called 611 again yesterday and the CSR said don't worry, be happy. It will take two billing cycles for old plans like SC Plan to show up she said. If after two billing cycles and I don't see the free promo, call them back and they will manually fix it. Again, she said she will add notes on my account just in case if there are any issues in the future.

Then I asked her if there any better plans that I can switch since SC plans charged taxes per line but she said that SC plans are the best and recommend to keep my plan. So far including this new free line, I will be paying $150 plus tax for eight voice lines (4 paid, 4 free due to old promos like this).

Lastly, I asked if my SC plan qualifies for any iPhone discount and after 5 minutes of waiting, she came back and said only the iPhone SE with 50% off with any new lines for my old SC plan since there no restrictions to met.

Hope this goes smooth when I get my next bill.


I believe we have the same plan.. SOC code SCFUTTBD


Sucks to have to pay $10 SIM fee ( I have like 20 lying around lol )

Time to look a gift horse in the mouth:

I previously had 3 lines on T-Mobile One with all 3 lines having the (no longer available) One Plus International add-on (I pay $25/mo for each line to have that add-on).

The new "free" line shows up online now and in my account history I see that it shows a cost of $0.0 per month and says it is on the T-Mobole ONE plan. I ordered a One Plus 8 for half off and paid $12 for overnight shipping to hopefully get it tomorrow.

Is there any chance I can get the One Plus International add-on on the new line without paying for it? I doubt it since that add-on is no longer available, but figured maybe someone here would know?

I originally added the line when this promo started and before all the details were known. I found out by contacting t-force and that rep was adamant that I was not eligible and that he had a list of eligible plans. I asked for a copy but he wouldn't provide it to me. A couple days later the screenshot of eligible plans came out (check the wiki) and sure enough my plan was not listed. I found my SOC plan code and was able to compare that to the list. I kept my line though in hope this promo updates or changes. But after the promo never showed up since I added the line, I contacted t-mobile again to verify one last time (even though 3 reps stated I was eligible). My plan is a promotional plan and was very close to another plan that was eligible which may have caused confusion for reps. In the end, I cancelled the line and got my SIM card restored. Luckily I didn't try to stack this promo with a phone promo. Would of been more of a headache to fix.

Well our soc code is definitely not on the list of eligible plans. Users vsiev and tobago_80, who have the same plan, added their lines on Friday and the promotion status is not showing up, that's 4 days. Anyone who got their free line for real has that promo status in their account or received a text their line is free You can wait one or 2 bill cycles but I doubt you will get it. It's gonna cost you $20/mo plus taxes, so almost $25. If you don't mind losing those service fees and take a gamble I guess you can wait. T-Mobile CSRs won't be able to do anything to get it for you for free, their system determines it. Just don't allow a CSR to "try" to get it for you because they will likely mess up your existing plan just to get it free for you

No. They won't be able to do that. Why not add the free line and then after a year cancel or port out one of the paid lines.
