Deal Details
This deal is likely expired now. Even though the website still says "third free" it is likely in the backend using the new promo now


Today (the 17th) is a sweet spot for joining T-Mobile. Right now you can port in from a competitor and get 3 lines for $96 with third line free and 20% off insider hookup. Then on Friday the 18th there will be a free line offer, giving you a 4th line.

Steps:
1. Have a competitor number to port in. AT&T or Verizon.
2. Get an insider code and redeem it on that competitor number. Details here.
3. Open a new account with T-Mobile today (the 17th). This can be done online, in person, over the phone, or via t-force/online support. Get 3 lines. Port in the number from step 1. You'll get third line free making the total $96/mo on Magenta.
4. Starting tomorrow (the 18th), contact support/go online and add a 4th line to the account. It will be free. Details here. No end date for the new free line yet so no rush

This can also be done with a Magenta Plus plan, and you'll end up with 4 lines for $112.

Congrats!

All these promos are legit. I was able to play my cards right last year and get a superb deal on 8 lines.

Really good deal...
Bleh get 4 iphone 12 deals when it comes in November or get $96 a month for 4 lines instead of $140. Tough choice.. I'm still leaning toward waiting it out for iphone12

Pretty much. You could get the Magenta Plus plan (which is the best) for 4 lines for $112 which actually might be the better deal here. See https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans for the comparison between the two plans.

Aren't all these complicated promotions intended to lasso you into T-Mobile before the iPhone 12 promotions come out?

I think youre being short sighted. Saving $70ish a month forever is better than saving $1200-1400 at once.

Add a line + trade in promo saves you about 300-350 per device compared to their trade in deal (free vs $350 off)

If you take this deal now, you will make it all up in a year and a few months and save $70 or so every month after that

Thats my rough calculations, worst case scenario it may take 2 years

On the deal that you linked about getting an Insider Code, it says get 4 lines for $112 already. So if we are doing Magenta Plus - isn't that simpler than doing the 3 lines now + 1 line on Friday? Or is that deal not still fully alive?

If you have time to spell out the simplest way for Magenta Plus we'd appreciate that!

The savings is about $44 per month. ($140 vs $96) It's will take about 36 months to save about $1600 from the iPhone 12 savings~$400 per phone. 3 years is a long time.. which is why I'm on the fence.

You need to sign up for new account before Friday, so that on Friday you can take advantage of the Current Customer free line on us as well (on top of the new customer free 3rd line).

If you sign up for new account tomorrow, and submit insider hookup code, you would get 2 lines + 3rd line free Magenta for $96 a month. And on Friday you can ask for the free 4th line. Still for $96.
Or For Magenta Plus and Hookup you would get 2 lines + free third line tomorrow for $112, and then request the free 4th line on Friday. . .making 4 lines Magenta Plus for $112.

Same question here. Was told by CS that my grandfathered five line simple choice still couldn't be matched by anything current .

For Verizon DPP - does T-Mobile have any way to get some of that paid off? Or are we just stuck with having to do that one-time payoff?

Also, is it free port in for lines #2-4 as well, or do those have to be all new #s?

How are you getting $140 a month for 4 lines? i wouldnt assume the same discounts later on.

Also how are you saving 400 per phone? I did the trade in program at costco last year and they gave me either $300 or 350 off their sale price of $650 on the iphone 11. So i paid $300 or $350 for the iphone 11. If i were to buy it straight up it would have been $650. So thats how i got my $1200-1400 and thats without factoring taxes.
