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.

So we have a total of 4 cell phone users. Ported over 3 of the lines to T-Mobile from AT&T around March/April this year. Held off one line because I wanted to wait for the new iPhones to come out so I could switch over and take advantage of any device promos running at that time.
Now, is it possible somehow to switch over this last remaining line from AT&T and use this 20% off promo on the account somehow? Don't want change of numbers though..

Thanks for sharing your experiences overseas with the T-Mo data.
Looking fwd to this benefit once overseas travel resume broadly...

Quote from redbandana :
I get 3G+ speeds in most of Western / Mid Europe for the past 4yrs. Enough data speed to play games like Clash Royale or run Google Maps without a hitch. I was capped at 2G speeds for maybe 4hrs once in Rome at 7am, likely due to the influx of commuters entering the city and crippling the network I was on.

from my understanding this isn't added to the ONE plan any longer.

Unfortunately not, unless you open a new account (with an account holder other than the one on your current account). Once it's open you could then COR transfer the lines from the old plan to the new plan, but it wouldn't get third free. They would get 20% off though.

It's silly they don't offer this to existing customers.
I'd be willing to bite from old Simple Choice plan (which I know they want me off from).

I'm on the T-Mobile Prepaid $30/month Walmart Plan (100 minutes/text, unlimited data). Will the Type 3 code for $200 off work on an iPhone SE?

Do all the lines have to be port ins? Or can the first main line be it?

I was asking because the numbers are on seperate AT&T prepaid accounts with different account numbers.

It's the first/main line that need to be a port-in with a new account. Others could come from existing accounts.

Are the prices correct on the original post? I see four lines on magenta plus at $200 so 20% off would be $160... looks like free line promo has ended?

Edit- never mind I see the 3rd line free discount still available

I'm on a T-Mobile One Business account. Will this plan qualify for the hook up #3?

I plan on trading in a LG G7 for the LG Velvet when it's released on Tmobile in a couple of days. Would I be able to qualify for the half off Velvet on EIP promotion and hook up #3?

Thanks

I tried adding the code on the insider page, just to test it out and received this error message :

"Unfortunately you are not eligible for this offer. Please contact T-Mobile Customer Care by dialing 611 from your handset to complete the qualifying offer requirements."

does the system know i havent yet purchased a 5g phone and thats why im getting the error , or is the error becasuse im on a 55+ plan and am not eligible to begin with

Would this work switching over from ATT prepaid plans?
