Does changing plan from essential to magneta affects BYOD promo? Or we have to stay with same plan until promo is completed?
As long as the new plan is in the "qualified" list, it doesn't affect your GCs.

This was the deal that just kept improving.
I was on ATT and I originally planned to just port in 4 numbers for $1,000(4 x $250). I paid off the remaining devices and unlocked them.

But then I saw the Insider Code for 20% so I added that.
Then I found out that the I was eligible for the Keep and Switch promo for $450 .
Then I ordered on 9/24 for the 4 lines and found out today I got the two free lines.

Porting took way longer than I expected. About 14 hours for me. I submitted the port request at 11am EST and it until 1am to finally finish.

Thanks to those who put the wiki together and everyone who commented about the two free add a line promos.

I did the entire process online since I didn't want to risk anyone screwing up the discounts.

For those who missed out, I wouldnt be surprised if they do something similar for the iphone 12 launch. Just be patient.

For those asking about the free lines length of time, I saw it's 1 yr no reduction in lines or else the discount stops. It's pretty genius to get everyone to jump on this deal and then it reduces the number of ppl who might jump ship next month.
FYI, you are also eligible for the $250 rebates on top of the keep and switch promo.

Spoke with rep over the phone and explained that "I already bought sim cards on ebay but they're still being delivered, is there anyway to just add 3 [additional] lines and activate the sim cards later?". The rep said no that is not possible but what he can do is help me purchase 3 sim cards, and issue the $ back to my T-Mobile account as a statement credit for my next bill. He also charged me for 1-day shipping ($11.99) and gave me credit on that back to my T-Mobile account too!

All in all I got 3 free SIMs and upgraded overnight shipping Wink

Checked the tracking in UPS site and it's been sitting in La Vergne, TN since 9/26. Contacted TMobile several times but they could not provide any updates. Hope I could port in and still get the rebate after 10/1...
Also, pretty sure your account just needs to be "activated" by 10/1 (You should receive temporary numbers and an email when this occurs). Then you have 30 days to complete the port in and submit the rebate.

Did you get an email saying your order was shipped, and showing your temp phone numbers? That's all you need to port in, you don't need to have the SIMs in hands. But if you actually use the service (not just doing this for the rebates), you won't have phone service until you have the SIMs and put them in your phones.

I received sim card today. Shipped on yesterday. Activated and ported number from ATT. Porting happened while i was in call with TM. Submitted rebate. Looks like people are porting numbers purchasing it from Ebay. How long does it take to get Rebate. I have only one number with Magenta+. It doesn't qualify for Netflix with a single line.
Why did you only get one number? 4 numbers you can get the max benefit?

I never get an email saying my sim has been shipped. But when I contact TMobile and they provided a link to ups check the shipping status. I don't need the line for service, I will try to see if I could port in now. Thanks for the tip!

My "Account" portion of the my.tmobile.com looks exactly the same. But under the "Bill" portion, I just got a final bill posted with a total of $120. On a downloaded PDF copy, there are still four temporary phone numbers listed so there is no way this is a 'final' copy of the document. Not sure if this will gets adjusted further or I will have to pay 120 this month (due date is Oct 15) and have an overpayment of $24 for the next billing cycle.

Anyone else in the same boat (discrepancy between numbers reported in the "Bill" and "Account" sections of the my.tmobile.com website)?
I am in the same boat, did you get an updated bill later?

I am porting my actual number. How long you have to wait to receive MIR? Employer takes care of the bill. If i add more lines, i only get partial refund of my data plan bill. I have another 2 phones to make use of with this deal. I need to buy 2 new ATT numbers to port. I didn't pay much attention to maximize the deal.

Check your email spam/trash folder for an email from T-mo with the title "Your account has been activated: order xxxxxxxxxx". In that email, it lists how many SIMs were shipped and their temporary phone numbers.

No, no changes to the bill. Looks like they will make me pay 120 and then - hopefully - issue the credit the next cycle. Strange. Alternatively, maybe we need to be patient and the bill will get updated few days before the due date (mid - October)? I have no idea....

Yeah, my bill was generated today. The plan shows $96 but bill is $120. Guess can't complain since I get two free lines. Too bad the numbers aren't my regular phone numbers.

My Hook Up Code status does not say 'approved', but says 'Received'. How do i handle this? Call Customer Service? I already received bill for $140 for Magenta but discount is not applied.
