TMo pushing hard to close out Q3 with big numbers.

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.

Quote from 4deals :
Had many issues while doing account creation with T-Force. Asked me to go to store. Spent 2+ hours at store and finally they activated my 4 lines, but couldn't do number porting from ATT as the store was closing.
This morning T-Force ported my ATT numbers.
I was told to wait 72 hours to create account or submit the rebate, Is this true ?
Anyway I tried creating new account, its not going through, so as rebate submission as it asks me to sign-in to my t-mobile account.
Personally, I was able to set things up quite fast. Here's the order of what I did which will be different from yours since your account hasn't been created.

STEP 1 – Set Up
a. Ordered online as new customer. $40 + Tax (no sign in or chat rep assistance)
b. Went on Reddit to get 20% Insider Code (waited 1 day for response)

Waited for SIMs. Took 2 days for Standard Free Shipping (YMMV). Each SIM has an assigned number.

STEP 2 - Registration
a. Applied the Insider Promo Code from step 1b into insider link with AT&T Phone Number that will be Ported as the Main Line.
b. Popped SIM into 1 unlocked phone, SIM got activated and received texts from TMOBILE
c. Downloaded T-Mobile App and created 1 new account with New T-Mobile Number using my email with "+tmobile" suffix (testing this out)
d. Signed into the app and wrote down all of the other Phone Numbers (4 in total)

STEP 3 – Port in and Rebate
a. Chat with Rep in App about Porting 4 AT&T numbers bought from Ebay. Got texts from TMobile notifying number transfer status (took 20 minutes to port)
b. Verified with different Rep on T-Mobile.com Chat to confirm Rebate Submission can be done under 1 Name and Address.
c. Submitted all 4 Rebates and documented everything

Bill still showing $140 even though I got a text from TMobile that the promotional discount will be applied.

Did you place your order online or in-store? Did a rep call you after your order was placed? I placed my order online with ground shipping but the rep who called me upgraded it to 2nd-day Air.
I couldn't place the order online on my brother's acct. So I had to call. Lady waived the assisted fee, but charged $10 for the SIM. She wanted additional $10 for the expedited shipping so I chose ground shipping thinking that it will come within 2-3 days. Thanks.

Placed my online order by myself on 9/23 with free shipping (not expedited) and received the SIMs yesterday 9/25. I guess it depends on how far you are from where T-Mobile's shipping facilities.
Thanks. Repped. This was using UPS Mail Innovation service? So USPS delivered the package?

Thx

General Question:
Are Sprint, T Mobile, ATT, Visible, Verizon, and Cricket Wireless SIMs recyclable in the sense that if you deactivate a phone number from the SIM via a port out, whether the SIM can be then used for a different phone number?

Phone Line 2 $50
with AutoPay

Phone Line 3 $0

This is what I see in my brother's acct after adding the free line on 9/24.He had 5 lines before with the 3rd line being free. The 6th line added is the new free line. The promo referenced is 2020 Line on Us 2. Thanks.
Thanks for the info. Repped.
I noticed this 2020 Line On Us 2 promo on my account already and later got a free line added. Now i am not sure if that line will really be a free line. rep said it is being processed. so, need to wait and see..

I haven't ordered sims yet. I also can't work on this during the day on Monday (can work on it after 9 pm).
At this point, am I basically forced to go to the store so that I can start the port in process in time? Is there any place besides Apple Store that can provide sim cards (they turned me down, unless I have a receipt from Apple for recent purchase of iPhone from them)?

I had a T-Mobile account opened in the last 90 days. They actually just sent me a visa gift card for the credit balance on my account. Anything I can do to help with any ill effect that that could have?

From reading this thread, I understand that I need to port in different numbers than the ones that I had on T-Mobile before.

OK, thanks. So now we have the following:

Whether carrier allows SIM Card to be Reusable/Recyclable with another phone number:
Cricket Wireless: NO
Sprint: YES
ATT: YES, with some processing
Visible: ?
Verizon: ?
Mint: ?
T-Mobile: ?

There are people who have ported in the number prior to receiving the SIM. So it can be done. But YMMV based on the rep you get.
