That would be a sweet deal then. I know I added 4 new lines with TMO thru Costco in July. I summited my rebates for $100 each line that same night. Then I ordered 4 new phones from TMO online by doing a upgrade on those lines. Well anyways those lines qualified for T-mobile current promos because it was done within the 14 day remorse period.

I bought 2 iPhone SE 2020 for $200 off each, a one plus 8 for $350 off and a iPhone 11 for $700 off with eligible port in plus trading in a iPhone 8. So most people on Slickdeals told me I would not get both Promo. Anyways I just checked on rebate status yesterday and I was approved for all 4 rebates and it said mailing date was 9-17. I'm pretty stoked about this deal.

Thanks. This means if I ordered a SIM today, but don't receive before Oct 1, it is still ok since the line activation and temp number assignment is already in place and I have 30 days to port and register for the promo. Is that correct? Thx
I have the exact same question!

Did you have the confirmation/notification texts for all 4 rebates sent to one number?
I submitted to send the text to each number. I got the text for one line that I already inserted SIM and turned on. I can see 4 rebates online.

Quote from BillH7327 :
There are two S20 FE promos. You can add a line and get the phone for free, or you can get $500 off with a trade in and you do not have to add an additional line. I chose the latter.
I was replying to the person who said that he tried to combine the free line, $250 byod and the S20 FE (via add new line method) for that same line then it wouldn't work. Some also asked how to combine free line, $250, $200 5G rebate, and $500 trade-in S20 FE ... hard NO!

Now some people will try to to get free line, then 250 rebate then will try to use that free line to do S20 FE via $500 trade in and after receiving $250 rebate -- that scenario may work but rebate doesnt get approved sooner than 30D.

So to summarize: Trade in method for S20 FE is ok on a line that DOESN'T receive any discounts, such as free line that was added before 9/24 or on paid/free lines that already have EIP credits. You cannot have 2 EIP credits on the same line (paid or free) but can have 2 EIP payment on the same line. The S20 FE is getting EIP credits to make it free

I don't think anyone will have a solid answer at this point. If you only have one phone, why don't you at least pop the remaining SIMs (one-by-one) and make a few test phone calls / texts so there is at least some 'activity' on all the lines. It's too early for anyone to be able to reliably determine how strict T-mobile is going to be with regards to checking each line for the BYODs. We can only hope they don't care all that much and will pay out the rebate regardless of whether each line has a separate device officially 'registered.' Personally, just because I happen to have four old spare phones, I have them all set-up with each individual SIM. Just to be safe..
Thanks. I guess you are right about that.

Mine was $155 with 4 lines on magenta. Funny thing is, my account showed all my discounts like hook up, autopay discount, free lines, etc. But wasn't reflected in bill. WTH?
I found the reason with my account, I port in all my 4 number 3 days after the account activated when the bill is already generated.

I saw this in this thread.

Sorry about yours! That's pretty strange!

to make sure hookup 20% appears on the first bill, i think we will need to do the port before 1st bill generates
can you please provide the timeline of order placement date , account activation date (email received with temp nos), and bill generate date?

fyi, on https://freecarrierlookup.com/
when you look up a cricket no, it shows "cricket wireless att svr", so looks tmobile will know its not ATT but its Cricket (if you port from Cricket).

TMO billing is a bit screwy. On my first account which was opened in store, both my online account and 1st bill show $112/month (Magenta plan) for 4 lines ported in from AT&T. On my bae's account that was created thro online chat, the account shows $112 (4 numbers transferred in from AT&T) but the 1st bill shows $140 with the temp numbers. It appears that the 1st bill was generated when the SIMs with the temp numbers were shipped so it did not sync with the transferred numbers.

Do you have a view on the following?

The account updated about 3 hours after the initial setup and porting were done.
Thanks ! Did you see the 2 free lines on your online order or did you only see 1? I wonder if there's any indication if the fourth line is going to be free for my order.

Do you also know if canceling a line later on will remove the 20% discount from the hook up code?
