Shows the same details as you mentioned above when i go to Plan Details. I registered Online and bring my own devices. I don't have any insurance.
i wanted to followup and see if you ever got that hookup code issue resolved. did your first bill pass already? do you see the hookup code applied to your account successfully?

Quote from kenpet :
How long does it take system to update the information? Overnight or 48 hours? No change under promo/discount yet.
definitely give it 48HRS. even longer if over the weekend. sometimes its immediate, but give it some time. there should be notes within your account so any future rep should see the adjustments made if there are problems. worst case scenario, auto pay discounts take one full billing cycle. this is what agents will tell you, but you should see the discount much sooner. ultimately, you can always call and get the missing credits adjusted to your account if needed.

The deal expired. Do you still want to get $250 promo? If so, it's too late.
My TMO lines were activated with temp numbers on 9/25, so I met the 10/1 deadline and I'm still within the 30 days.

Why don't you just get 4 AT&T numbers from ebay?

i never understood your situation even though you had several long posts with various strategy options running in your head. i can appreciate the detail and thought process you put into your posts to receive feedback, but im not 100% clear on what youre trying to do. i dont understand why youre making it so complicated with porting from cricket to verizon to TMO. maybe i had missed your explanation.

if youre on cricket, thats fine. just stay there. run this deal as a silo. many people churn through telecom deals like retail resellers buy/sell arbitrage. you can do the same. hit up various deals with ATT sprint TMO etc. open/close lines to get the rebate.

if youre trying to squeeze out every last cent of profit by avoiding double service payment and being a telecom nomad, youre being ridiculous. but let us know what youre trying to do.

I have activated 4 lines with magenta on 9/25. Till now my bill not generated. When I click on change plan it is still showing as $155 instead of 112.
I contacted them last week via 611, they are asking me to wait till the bill generated.
Any suggestions?

I plan to keep the service with TMO active with 5 lines. I had previously proposed a couple scenarios with the ebay ATT option being one of them. However, I never found a clear answer as to whether or not I could eventually replace the ebay lines with my actual numbers without messing up the free line promotions, etc.

I ultimately planned to go with the suggested Verizon option, but found out two of my existing numbers can't port to Verizon. So I can lose out on $500 or I can go the ATT route and take the $1000 minus prorated service cost.

I plan to go ATT but just wanted to do one last check to make sure there wasn't something I was missing with regards to qualifying for the promo. So much info flying around in this thread and tons of inaccurate information from TMO reps...

I'm breaking up with Cricket and plan to stay with TMO. With TMO, I have 5 lines plus upgraded Netflix for $107. Never really considered telecom churning...not sure it's worth all the effort with a family plan and probably wouldn't yield as much profit after considering higher per/line cost if splitting up the lines.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post, but I've seen some conflicting information about a scenario I'm looking at:

I know I missed this particular deal to get a free line, but I see that TMO is now doing their free third line if you are a new customer or an existing single-line customer. I have an account with a single line and the Insider 20% discount.

Some relatives are currently on the 55+ Magenta plan, but the current promotion does not seem to allow me to perform a COR to my single-line account, then add a free line. Is that correct?

Assuming that the above is correct, I'm thinking that I can simply add 2 lines to my existing single-line account in order to get one free line. Can I then have TMO move the lines from the 55+ plan to take the place of the new numbers? Or will that be viewed as a cancellation?

Or would I have to port the 2 lines on the 55+ plan out of TMO then do a port over (or whatever it's called) to replace those numbers but still keep the free line? If so, is there a certain amount of time that they need to be away from TMO before I can do this?

Does that make sense?

No, I called customer service and they mentioned it might take 1 full month to take these discounts effective.

People just waiting on the rebate huh? Countdown timer started?
At least so far, we've had about $5 back ($3 Panera, $2 BR) per line in the matter of food credits and another $2 next week...

For data points,
I did 3 lines together (9/24) and added 1 line (9/28), was hoping to get the free line, but read here later they can't combine two offers.

Online account shows price of $96, but shows all 4 lines, and each number says included in plan... maybe I lucked out with 3rd free line even though the 4th line was added 9/28 (past the 3rd line on us), or one of them was the free line on us....

The bill generated quick and it hasn't changed. Says $120 for 3 lines. SD users say that bill will be adjusted so not worried about that.

Maybe I lucked out with 4 lines at $96, which is what I was hoping to get?

Oh yeah, for those that know the lingo:
Applied discounts and promotions:
$10 AutoPay Discount

$24 New TMO Insider Voice 20%

$20 2020 Line On Us 2 (Additional Lines)
$10 AutoPay Discount (Additional Lines)
$20 2020 3rd Line On Us 3 (Additional Lines)

I had followed the steps outlined in the OP.
20% hookup code registered on the insider website: 9/24
T-mobile account created: 9/25
Sim received: 9/29
Porting done: 10/8
BYOD submission: 10/8

Question:
The promo says 9/15 - 10/1. What does the deadline 10/1 refer to?
Account creation?
Porting?
BYOD Rebate submission?

Also, Do I need to submit a rebate for each number separately? Should I give same address for all rebates or give different address for one number who doesn't live in the same household?
Thanks

Every eligible line should have individual rebate submission

Address doesn't matter as far as I understood as they will provide virtual card, but if you plan to change it to a physical card later then the address per may be critical and also it may be critical for billing shipping address related conflicts if you plan to use the virtual/physical card for shopping online in future to spend it.

I also had the first bill generate at $155 despite my Account info saying $112. I called 611 and the rep gave me a $43 credit adjustment to my account to cover it for the first month, and assured me it would be corrected by the second bill.

Thanks. I guess I will use the virtual card only.
