What is the appropriate age for kids to have a phone? Asking as a parent.
I know some parents use the watches that let you track the kids with GPS and eavesdrop on the kid through the watch. The kid can also call the parent with one button.

Another use was to put a phone in the kid's bookbag not to be taken out. With Google Family you can see where they are and when the bus drops them off.

If your soc code is eligible check op, you just got a bad rep. Try again. When I went to Costco it just automatically added the free line, try getting it done at Costco, before finalizing it will pull up a screen showing what you will pay for the monthly charge, should be 0.

see below

They can if you had it on any existing line before on a grandfathered account, I have had it added as have others, but have not heard any success stories on new accounts that never had it.
Did you have it added to this current free line?

Normally the issue is getting a rep that will escalate to have it added. Today was the first time I've ever had it escalated but been denied.

According to my rep, they're really cracking down. By end of year One Plus Promo is going to be gone and it (and Kickback) will require further escalation that will only be approved if the feature is missing due to system issues.

Can you list the promo you have? I successfully switched to the TIULFM9 but not all promo show up.
I only see
$30 This One's on Us (AAL)
$30 2020 Line On Us
$30 2020 Line On Us 2

and my total went up $80. I know LOU 3 is missing. I hesitant to add another line until this clears up
On mine, it's the other way around. I'm missing $30 This One's on Us (AAL), but have $30 2020 Line On Us 3. Also autopay is missing. My total went up by $26. I will give it a day or so and see what happens. The rep from T-force said he can see the discounts on his end, so hoping the system will display the correct discounts and numbers soon.

Another good use of the extra free line is to use a dedicated one for sweepstakes, promotions, or donations. So, the spam/scam calls won't mix with legitimate calls to your real number.
good idea. although I did read somewhere in this thread of a free proxy/digit line to use for that purpose. I don't know if I can add that though since I'm already maxed out on number of lines, ill ask them tomorrow, but I do have a couple of google voice numbers for that purpose as well Smilie

Yes I had kickback on my other lines
Mind double checking?

Your rep couldn't add Kickback. It would require escalation to have it added. Some are a little more willing than others, but most won't do it unless you specifically ask for it.

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.
My niece is 7yo and my brother already wants to give her a phone with the last free line. She's already on her iPad like all day smh

Someone said that you can request to add a 13-15th with a $100 deposit each. I was too busy today to try that.
I thought free line promo restriction was line 3-12, Can a line 13 be free? all I read was free if less than 12 lines.

Do you happen to know what your soc code is for the unlimited data that you got added? I would love to be able to upgrade 4 of our 4gb lines to unlimited data like you. We also are paying an additional $20 per line for 3 other lines to get unlimited data. We have 7 lines total.
posting it as a link so you can see if there's any other codes you (or someone else can use). the SOC for UNL data w/6GB hotspot is on line 78 (or a different one on line 122) (https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...340439917) good luck

The OP is saying that the Costco BYOD promos don't stack with this deal. What are his sources? There are many people who are reporting that they got the free line from Costco with the rebate promotion.
He's a very seasoned TMO employee, OP to many of these TMO deals, with a large Reddit following, and even runs the Discord when "tickets" are needed. I would follow his advice. . .

How do you think he is able to announce these Free Line deals etc. a day before it is available much less mentioned anywhere else????

The digit line is just using the same number on your computer if you don't have access to or lost your phone. It doesn't give you an extra number. Google voice numbers need to be re-verified yearly or else they will drop your number. So, using an extra free T-Mobile number for spam/scam sweepstakes is less hassle.

Quote from aholeinthewor1d :
Can someone give me a quick rundown of how exactly this works?

I have a single line on the T-Mobile One plan with the insider hookup promo (20% off for life). I also have the "One plus" promo I think it's called that gives me unlimited HD video.

Is this free line something I am eligible for and if so do I need to put a phone on the new line right now? My thinking is to add a line if it's free because my g/f will be switching over at some point.

Thanks
From what I've read, you need at least two paid voice lines in order to be eligible to have a free line.
