Can we use this to get any discount on a new phone? My mom could use a new pixel, don't really need a new line though... even if its free.

Based on what I am reading this sure is a mess, I just moved to t-mobile and was offered 3rd line free, when I called agent in the morning he said it could be added and I got Galaxy FE with $500 off by trading in old galaxy S7 and got a new phone. He seemed all over the place so I called later to confirm everything is set properly and the lady started saying I would not qualify as I got 3rd line free just a week back. Now i see this in my line so it looks like it might have worked, I was planning to return as the agent I called to confirm made me beleive I would not get this promo, but if it worked would be awesome, I can get me younger kid a line and phone.

$10 AutoPay Discount
$10 AutoPay Discount (Additional Lines)
$20 2020 3rd Line On Us 3 (Additional Lines) code- 20Q33S
$20 2020 Line on Us 3 (Additional Lines) code - 20Q43S
From the OP " The promo seems to be showing on accounts as line on us 3 (double if you already had it). It's a known issue and being worked on. Will not affect eligibility."

Wow 186 trade in value for a XR. Is this a 186 trade and this is applied over bill credits and I pay the remaining difference monthly?

What is the appropriate age for kids to have a phone? Asking as a parent.
Good question. My kids are 6 & 3 so no time soon for us. Maybe 12? It's something my wife and I will have to discuss as our kids get older.

For now I'm using the free lines with our old phones. Might come in handy for streaming on road trips or something.

Quote from Victor9792 :
is it 100% sure you can port in a number to the free line at anytime? isn't it only during the first 30 days window?
You misunderstood the original question. The OP was asking if they could move their currently Tmobile paid line (say Line #3) into the free line from today (Line #7) and cancel L3 b/c they didn't want to pay for that L3 at $30.

What you're asking is to port in a currently non-Tmobile line to a free line from today right? If that's what you want to know then you can port in at anytime (as in same minute after adding the free/paid line, 1 day later or 1 year later). If that external number used to be a Tmobile number, then wait at least 90 days before you port back into your Tmobile account....

Unlike 2020 Line on us 3, if you cancelled a line in the last 90 days, you are not eligible for this promotion unless you add the previously cancelled "paid" lines, what a bummer, Line on us 3 didn't have this stipulation.

Nothing and I mean nothing good comes from kids with phones. Do you really want to give them access to everything at their fingertips at their whim all you have worked to keep them away from. Stall it as much as you can, going on 14 still no phone! If they must get a flip phone with no data.

Called after midnight EST and got this deal. The call center is in Philippines, and agent knew what I was talking about. Currently on T-Mobile ONE plan. Paying for 4, and 3 free. This extra line makes it 4th free. Thanks OP and T-Mobile.

Any port-in and BYOD deal I can stack? From OP it seems that Costco one is not stackable.

I was able to pull it off the JSON from my account, it's not visible on the page.
I see the code now as well if I use JSON.
We have the exact same codes and promos. I'm also new and join in November, 25.

Hopefully we both to keep the free lines and discounted phones with trade in.

If you go to account history https://my.t-mobile.com/accounthistory
You can see the correct trade in promotions applied.

Easy to get throttled to 2g there.
I think they had unlimited hotspot and the data was not showing as tethered because the device was not a t-mobile device, from what I read. but a rabbit hole I read down was about t-mobile deives working with some routers.

All the "line on us 3" deals had the same policy. The policy is no cancelations in the last 90 days and the next 365 days.

Have you confirmed that you new line is free? Thanks!
they verified on the phone that it was. With that said, as with all of these promos and rebates, I won't swear absolute certainty until I see it on my cell as 0 and have my rebates in hand (which may take a month or two).

But I got the usual text message from T-Mobile talking about receiving the promotion and maintaining the discount for as long as I am eligible; that's usually a good sign. Plus another text from them about the Samsung rebate.
