Deal Details
New customers can get 20% off a Magenta or Magenta Plus plan and existing customers (or new customers getting a non-magenta plan) can get $200 off a 5G phone.

Price for 4 lines on Magenta with 20% Insider Hookup: $112

See more example costs in the last FAQ question below.

See redemption instructions in the wiki section below.

Offer ends September 30th.

Type 1: 20% off Hookup
This will be the most popular by far. It will give customers porting in from AT&T/Verizon/Eligible MVNO 20% off all voice lines for the life of the account, even lines added later in the life of the account. This offer is stackable with pretty much all existing promos such as discounts on phones when you add a line, etc. This will also stack with third line free.

Type 2: $200 off a 5G phone for new customers
This one will probably be the least popular. New customers can get a code for $200 off a 5G phone. It will stack with other active promos, for example if a 5G phone has 50% off with add a line, etc. This type is only really useful for those opening a new account that isn't a magenta or magenta plus account, such as when opening a 55+ account or a first responder account.

Type 3: $200 off a 5G phone for existing customers
Existing customers can get a $200 rebate card when they purchase a new 5G phone from T-Mobile on an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP). No add-a-line necessary.



We have PLENTY of codes over on the subreddit (r/tmobile) and in the subreddit's Discord server (linked in the about/sidebar of the subreddit).


FAQ:

Q: What is a "Hookup Code"?
A: A hookup code is a unique code provided by T-Mobile and Sprint employees. Each employee gets 3 codes to hand out of each type. This code can be registered online along with your phone number to give you discounts, either 20% off the account or $200 off a 5G phone, depending on the code.

Q: I used a code. Now what?
A: If you got no error messages, you're all set. For the 20% off code simply visit a T-Mobile store to setup a new account and port in the number you registered the code with. You don't even have to mention hookup to the employee if you don't want to, everything will be automatic. For the $200 off code, you will use it after buying a new 5G phone on EIP and receiving the phone.

Q: I already have a T-Mobile account. Can I get this deal?
A: No. New accounts only. You would need to port in a number from a carrier that is not a T-Mobile/Sprint account or one of their MVNOs into a brand new account using an account holder that does not currently have a postpaid T-Mobile account.

Q: My number was on T-Mobile or Sprint in the last 90 days. Do I qualify?
A: No. In order to qualify as a new customer, the number you port in (and use for the insider hookup) cannot have been on T-Mobile or Sprint (or one of their MVNOs) in the last 90 days.

Q: Can I stack other promos?
A: Yes! 20% Hookup is compatible with pretty much all other promos like phone trade in deals.

Q: How much would my plan be with the 20% discount?
A: On Magenta, 1 line is $56, 3 lines is $96 (w/third line free), 4 lines is $112, and additional lines are +$16 each (up to 8 lines). On Magenta Plus, 1 line is $68, 3 lines is $112, 4 lines is $136, and additional lines are +$24 each (up to 8 lines). Both plans are taxes included, so what you see is what you pay.

Looks like you have to switch carriers first and then once number ports over, then apply this hookup code. It's just as simple as applying before switching and porting. Frown

Anyone who is has tried Type 1 and was successful, can you quickly type up the steps. I used a code and it says I need to be an existing customer. Also, switching from Verizon pre-paid. Trying to take advantage of the free phone deals. We have 4 lines.

For type 1 (20% off) you use the code first. For type 2 and 3 you use it after. Read the info in the wiki section for details.

The wiki on this post has redemption steps. It's pretty simple. Redeem a type one code (which you can find on the r/tmobile subreddit/discord or wait for one to be posted here) using a phone number you plan to port in. Once redeemed, just open a magenta or magenta plus account and port in that number and you're all set. if the code said it was for existing customers it was a type 3 code. Read what each code type is in the post.

Idk if my situation is complicated or easy but I haven't seen it addressed. Myself, my mother and sister are all on a simple choice plan, grandfathered in with unlimited data. My wife is on Cricket. Is there any way she can port over, get the discount on the lines and then we transfer our numbers over to her plan? I don't particularly care about keeping the simple choice plan, I just want to keep my numbers. If my wife can get a new device free or on the cheap that would.also be fantastic. Thanks for any advice!

I did this. The best way to do it is in stores or via t-mobile fb chat or something. The codes you find on reddit might already be redeemed and it kinda messes with your account a bit. Anyway, yeah I did this last month coming from Verizon Visible.

I did this with my family. I was the only one on Verizon Visible while everyone else was on T-Mobile Simple Choice.

For your situation, your wife would need to be open the insider discount account first. Then whoever is the account holder of your simple choice plan will need to get on call with t-mobile alongside your wife to transfer ownership and the phone numbers.

As a new account holder, she gets really big discounts on new phones but you should probably call and ask. Additionally, if 2 people are willing to change their phone numbers, then you can take advantage of their "3rd line on us promotion".

So I don't have TMobile I'm on Cricket 5 lines. I want to switch and take advantage. How do I go about doing so and making sure I get the 20% off?

No clue what this Magenta business is. I signed yo back when they just had the One plans. Are people moving from One to Magenta for this promo? Any downsides?

Hi,
Could you help describe this feature clearer? How can I know if I have it on my acct?

"... free overseas data roaming was given with unlimited text at 3g+ speeds..."

I also thought I had this feature when I signed up on Magenta late last year but when I login to my acct, I can only see:

Simple Global (texting and data abroad) - Texting and 2G (128kbps) data speeds in 210+ countries.

Maybe it was a mistake on my part misunderstanding it for some other 3G related feature, so any help or pointing to the right place to look is most appreciated.

Thanks!

Hookup is the bomb. I luckily joined when free overseas data roaming was given with unlimited text at 3g+ speeds. While it's useless this year, I look forward to getting out of the country when it becomes a Communist State
