The last "free line" wasn't free, and made me lose my grandfathered plan, even though I was promised multiple times it was fine. Proceed with caution.

It was free for me. And still is. And I've been in a grandfathered plan for years. Didn't change mine. Aorry about yours.

I currently have 1 Line on Magenta. I just placed my order via telephone for the 2nd line and got the 3rd line free to get the iphone 12 pros. They are shipping my sim card in 2-3 days. I just asked TFORCE if my 2nd and 3rd line is considered "active" as of today. They said No its not active until you get your sim.

Does that mean I am not eligible for my free line tomorrow even if I placed my order today 11/24? I confirmed with the rep on the phone and she claimed it would be active as of today. so much contradiction!
It should be. But you check on your T-Mobile account. It should say 3 lines. I wouldn't really worry as your get 3rd free should be a different promo code than the This one on us (11/25 promo)

What is the cap to the number of lines? Is it 10 or 12?

I have the old One unlimited plan. Currently have 9 lines.

If you add a new line, you won't get the pixel for free but only for half off.
However if you add the new line and port in a number (from another carrier) to that line then you will qualify for it being free.
It's what I'm going to do as I have a 2xl that I want to offload.

So, what I did was buy a portable number from ebay which another member on here some pages back linked to a vendor with verizon port numbers.

So my process for this is going to be:
  1. Add new line under account
  2. Call tforce to port the number to that new line
  3. Buy the pixel 4a 5G on that new line
  4. Trade in pixel 2xl
  5. Receive new phone submit for $100 promotion
For 1 and 2 you can call tforce to help you set that up, hell you may even have them help you do 3 and 4. You'll need to have the phone number, account number and pin so you can port it to that new line.
Wrong Information.

Pixel 4a 5G is half off with adding a line OR Trade-in.
Pixel 4a 5G is free with adding a line AND Trade-in.

There is no mention of Port-in for this deal. $100 for port-in is completely separate entity and I am not sure it stacks. Maybe it does!

Cheapest way I know is to find a pre-paid sim number on any carrier besides t-mobile/sprint and port over, don't fill the account, and port back out after some time to make sure the port was successful.
thanks. but pre-paid on any carrier non-sprint/t-mobile is min $10 isn't it? would you share light on how to do so? or cheapest you found?

i'm guessing GV may not work?

Ok, yeah I'm concerned about the $100 stack so you are right. I was looking at this page thinking of the join thing: https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/deals-hub

Quote from Jman100 :
Starting 11/25 (tomorrow) existing T-Mobile customers on an eligible plan with at least 2 paid lines can add a line for free.

This promo DOES NOT stack with the following phone promotions:

- iPhone "On Us"
- Free smartphone w/AAL
- iPhone BOGO
- $950 off iPhone 12 Pro
- $99 Galaxy S20 FE

Important note: Do not attempt to get one of the ineligible phone promos with the free line. The system will default to giving you the phone promo instead of the free line and you'll be stuck with a regular paid line. To clarify, if you purchase a phone on EIP on the free line that would normally qualify you for a phone promo listed above, it will force the phone promo over the free line. This basically prevents you from adding any of the phones above to the free line.
just want to clarification...

*** iPhone "On US" is attached to "New line" ? cannot be attached to upgrading an existing line?

*** if can be attached to existing line as upgrade, trade in say iPhone 7, should still able to get $530 in credits via 24/30 months? I don't have iPhone 8 to get it free. since added 11/25 Free Line on US ?

MY SOC code is SCFUTT4 so it seems I will qualify for a free line but I'm not certain about the sequence to perform this if I want to take advantage of both promotions.

What should be the sequence to maximize this and get the Costco $200 GC and the TMobile $100 rebate?

Will Costco also do a port number with Promo code: 2020SWITCHP2 when doing BYOD?

If so, will this be the proper sequence?
1) Unlock my GV number (-$3) or purchase at eBay other carrier port number(-$11)
2) Tomorrow, BYOD (Bring your own device) at Costco using a spare phone AND porting the GV number or other carrier number bought at eBay
3) Verify that T-Mobile automatically treated the new/ported line as free.
4) Submit Costco paperwork for +$200 Gift card with the ported number
5) Submit TMobile rebate/paperwork for Promo code: 2020SWITCHP2 porting a line (+$100)

---------------------------------------------------------

If Costco or TMobile does NOT allow to combine BYOD and TMobile Port promotion 2020SWITCHP2

1) Unlock my GV number (-$3) or buy eBay other carrier port number(-$11)
2) At Costco add a line with BYOD (Bring your own device)
3) Verify that T-Mobile automatically treated the new/ported line as free.
4) T-mobile chat or call: Request port in of new number from GV number or other carrier purchased from eBay to the new line and number from Costco
5) Verify AGAIN that T-Mobile automatically treated the new/ported line as free.
6) Submit Costco paperwork for +$200 Gift card.
7) Submit TMobile rebate/paperwork for Promo code: 2020SWITCHP2 porting a line (+$100)


Question for #6)
In this scenario,

What number should I use to submit Costco paperwork for getting the $200 Gift Card?

If I submit with the "original" number from Costco it will no longer exist as I requested Tmobile to port in a new number from GV or another carrier purchased from eBay to the free line.

TMobile Port a number Promotion
Promo code: 2020SWITCHP2
Start date: November 25, 2020
Rebate Value: up to $100

Does Tmobile enforce the "line canceled w/i the last 90 days must be reinstated"? Has anyone gotten away with it? All the T&C said "may need to reinstate a canceled line" so if I'm understanding it correctly, it's not MUST. Also, I remember reading a while back some claimed they got away w/ it as in Tmobile doesn't always enforce this? Anyone? Thanks

Any reason you can't / don't want to add the new line via Costco for the $200 shop card? Thinking of doing the same thing as you but also trying to stack with Costco promo if possible.

Random question... but is it possible to port in different numbers to the same line multiple times? For example, I port in a GV number to the line and use that for a year, and then port in my sister's number to that same line down the road?
