Tmobile just told me you can't do this and have a second line attached to the same device. You can either use physical sim or esim but not both. How could this be?
I use this ALL the time. Use one of my free lines as data on my esim

NOOO!!! Don't listen to them. That is an inexperienced associate. This is not elgible with free phones. Please read all the posts and OP notes. If you do, please make sure they notate the account. The Credits will not apply correctly and you will have to end up returning or paying for the extra line.

Hmm, that's troubling. According to OP, it is suppose to show as "2020 Line On Us 4."
I will keep an eye on it over the next couple of days. Did get a SMS confirmation about discount too.

Be careful with what they say and get it confirmed again

There is a separate MEID that's associated with your eSIM.
You cannot activate both on the main MEID, that's probably what they're talking about.

I am on the Essentials plan. Max is 6 lines for that plan. I am already at max so I couldn't take advantage of the deal. I was told to move to the Magenta plan for an extra $25 or so a month and that plan has a max of 12 lines.

Perhaps add repetitive questions to the wiki....

My plan is old without unlimited data on each line, will this also be 2gb high speed like my other lines? Would be nice if it came with unlimited high speed...

Was advised she noted in account and I restated it multiple times in the chat thread and she responded correct, i.e. free line, iphone 12, xr trade, no increase in bill outside of 1 time payment for tax and sim. Will keep an eye on it.

I also took advantage of the 3 free lines this year. Via chat few minutes ago, t-mobile rep says I'm already taking advantage of the free line on us 2020 3rd line and cannot be combined with the new one.

That's not entirely true - at least not if it's the same as the iPhone on us 3 promo.

If the trade in promo is based on a new line activation, it won't take. But if the trade in promo is eligible for existing customers then you can "upgrade" after establishing the line to get it. I was able to get a free iPhone 12 mini back in November by doing it this way.

If you want to avoid the potential for mix up, you can also "upgrade" on an existing line and trade in for the free phone then just swap the SIM card on your own when it arrives.

Hello, don't want anyone who had Nov's free line 3 on us to be alarmed and if possible, I'd advise to wait before adding this 12/20 free line. Why? I had "combined Line on Us 2" back in Sept. The system dropped it off twice about 24h later, after having told by reps that it would stay. I see that those who got 12/20 promo shows the same "combined Line on Us 3" like mine did back in late Sept (Line on Us 2 combined x$).

UNLESS they fix the system today, in my experience if you cannot have 2 of the same named Promo. Proof for my "combined Line on Us 2" back in Sept -- which dropped off again and again. System will not allow same named promos. I hope this is not the case for 12/20 free line b/c I myself would like to add another free line of course.

Please report back if your 12/20 "combined Line on Us 3" promo sticks in the next 48hrs.

This is especially true with support calls after 9pm which offered free lines to me out the wazoo back in 2017. Had to use the EECB tactic of emailing [email protected] and even then, all they could do was offer a flat amount of credit to cover for 1 year of service.
