*** UPDATE -- free AAL ends COB Thursday, 9/24! ***


It appears that another T-Mobile "Line On Us" for existing customers is coming this Friday. No word on the duration of the promo. Voice lines only.

It also allegedly stacks with the prior free lines. I'll update with any cheap/free phone deals that may be available...

Look up your SOC code (pasted from prior deal thread -- can't create a Wiki for some reason):

How do I look up my SOC code?
If you want to know what your SOC code is, login using a web browser so you are looking at your account. Be sure to enable "Web Console". (FireFox --> Menu --> Web Developer --> Web Console) Pop over to the Network tab and look for an XHR request to "Subscriber".
you'll see your SOC Code in the Response section. For example, here is the relevant section:

````
{
"ratePlan": {
"name": "Simple Choice North America 10GB Family Match Promo",
"planType": "SIMPLECHOICE",
"socCode": "10SFM2LN"
}
}
````

You need to be on the "home" URL when you enable the tools. I've attached a screenshot that shows (circles) all of the areas you should be at or click to ensure you can see the SOC Code. Sorry if this is too complicated - just trying to share info.

For your plan code view in Chrome:
View>Developer>JavaScript Console. Then tap Network tab then XHR tab.
Then go to the main T-Mobile account homepage (the magenta square with white T in the upper left…or refresh it if already there).
In the Java window, single-tap Subscriber (or type it in the Filter search tab if you can't find it, then single-tap Subscriber)
Tap Response tab (if not already selected). In that long string, you will find the plan and socCode.

Chat from web.
Thanks. Could have sworn that wasn't an option when I was logged into the website earlier.

Edit: the chat just gives me message about shortened customer service hours then closes on me. Sigh. Human interaction it is.

I just added the free line. In on Mobile One plan. I noticed my bill go up $5 a month with the last free line. It was my 9th line. I confirmed ahead of time that it wouldn't incur auto pay limit, but it did. I'm now working with T-force to try to straighten it out.

I was assured (again) on this 10th line that my bill would not increase because of the added line. We'll see, then I'll get it straightened out from there.

This is why I prefer to work with T-mobile in writing rather than calling in and talking.

Any way of doing this tonight without having to make a call? Twitter/Facebook not replying and the ability to chat with them no longer appears in my app.
If no one reply, add a line from T-Mobile app. Simfee will be added before u can check out. Next day , chat them up to see if the add line is coded with the promo., if they cannot fix or won't fix it, ask them to cancel the new line and refund the sim fee. If all go well, when the sim shipped, your acct will reflect the 2020 line on us 2 discount

Gotcha.

The good news is that you have it in writing. So at least that's a start. You likely will run into issues due to the activation date of the 3rd line (supposed to be free) being outside of the promotional window.

Executive Care has a lot of ability. I don't know how far that extends with free lines and getting them to stick on lines activated outside a promotional window. I have heard stories over the years of Exexutive Care putting free lines on plans that weren't actually eligible, so they can probably work something with you.

For the hassle, I'd also ask them to apply the Insider Hookup for you.

Just to make sure there's no miscommunication, though: what is the name of the credit on your account making one of your lines free?
I already have the 20% hook up since 2017/8.
On my plan, there's this line that says: $25 2020 Line On Us 2 (Additional Lines)

I put my order in for the free line tonight after all the T-Mobile support closed up.

I'll call tomorrow to check if it's coded right. Is there some preferred method of contacting them is more likely to get someone who can figure out how to fix things if they aren't coded correctly?

Special number or Facebook or just 611?

Thank you.

You're already on a plan? As far as I'm aware, the free line offer that ended on the 17th was only for new customers opening a new account with 2 or more paid lines. It was not applicable to customers that already had an account.

The offer that started the next day was for both new customers adding 2 or more paid lines, or current customers with 2 or more lines.

It sounds like you're only eligible for one free line, not two, if you were looking to add these lines to a pre-existing account.

Is there something I'm missing here?

I did the free line promo today alongwith the Iphone 11 Max $1000 with Iphone 8 trade in and ATT port (from ebay).

I am on the Magenta + plan with the 20% insider hookup. This is my 4th line -previous 3 include 2 paid + 1 free from the promo that ended on 9/17. The odd thing is that the previous free line has my bill showing at the price for 2 lines. After the line today the billing is showing at the price for 3 lines. I am wondering if this is just something that takes a while to update on my account such that I would only see the price for 2 lines or if this works differently as a credit for the 4 the free line once the bill shows up.

Also, I did the trade in for the Iphone 8 in store. Do you know if there is a secondary check of the condition of the trade-in once Tmobile corporate receives the phone or am I done once the store has accepted the trade in?

Finally, they did not open the phone and put the Tmobile sim in the new phone. Does this mean that the phone is unlocked?

Anyone with the 10SCFM4 plan able to get the free line last time?
My coworker and I are on this plan (10SCFM4). We both have a 15% corporate discount 2ith this plan. He asked multiple CSRs and they all said he was eligible for the free line. He ordered it on Friday, got the sim card on Monday and after he activated it, the promo text "2020 Line on Us 2" showed up on his account for that line.

I chatted with T-force and the first rep said I was eligible, the other 3 reps (I chatted multiple times) on T-force said my plan is not eligible. I went ahead and added a line (sim card) online on Wednesday. When it shipped on Thursday, I got the following text. So it looks like I may be eligible too.

Congrats! You will receive your promotional service discount from T-Mobile as long as you maintain eligibility. View http://t-mo.co/activity for account details.

Free voice line doesn't have the data plan? When I was talking to customer care who was adding the line to the account said it will have the same plan as my current plan. Is that not the case? Thx

Multiple T-Force agents have confirmed for 1 year. I'd feel more comfortable with the actual terms being provided, but this 1 year is consistent with all prior free line promos.
Lines added after the free line is added can be cancelled without impacting the free line correct?

For example I added the free line yesterday. I can't cancel any of the existing lines for 1 year otherwise i would lose the free line. But if I add another paid line and then cancel that line in a few months, it shouldn't impact the free line, correct? This paid line was not there when I added the free line. So it shouldn't impact the status of the free line. Is that correct understanding? Thx
