I'm staying right where I am... current plan says $115 for 8 lines. New plan would be $270 for 9 🤣🤣🤣
I have the same plan/cost. You are paying taxes so the total is around 140-150? I switched to 9 lines TI for $150. It is a few dollars more today, no tax increase later.

Just curious, but I see a lot of comments saying they don't need another line but will definitely add a free one. What purpose does that serve?

Number of users on their network. I assume they use their user base numbers in their metrics for all sorts of things from marketing to investor relations.

No, you are wrong.. Who said you need to pay for phone? You will forfeit your free line, and end up paying monthly charges. As free phones are based on monthly credits, you can't cancel this line otherwise phone balance is due immediately per the contract you signed. Good luck!!
Got the line and phone the same time. Free line is still there free as of now. We'll see.

Add free lines now and remove the paid lines a year later.

I added 2 free lines this year one from summer promo and the other after 2 months.
It was nothing but mess since those lines were added. First My hookup discount disappeared and then netflix.
Had to readd everything manully. Took 2 months to straighten it up. Even now bills vary wildly from month to month and have to FB TForce each time to get it fixed.

I regret adding those 2 free lines. I really don't need them.
My advice don't get these if you don't need. It's not worth the issues.

I have an eligible plan (4 lines, old T-Mobile One) and have a couple of questions for those in the know:

- If I add a line (or two) and don't plan to use it immediately will I bill billed anything at all (like taxes, fees, whatever)?
- Once I do start using them, same question. Taxes and fee on the new lines or just my usual 4 x $40 = $160 bill?


Thank you.

You're gonna be mad at the end. You're not going to get you're taxes refunded/ pay a restocking fee / ship the phone back and pay for 1 month of line usage.

I wouldn't worry about the discount showing under the plan. There are 2 other places one can check.
When I added the free line yesterday, it shows under the account history as new line added to my account on certain date, and this line is on XXXX plan for $0.0 per month plus taxes and fees. It also shows as $0.00 under the new line.

If you go through T-force, it will be in writing also that the line is free.
Thanks. Does the promo show up as twice the amt for 2020 line on us 3? Assuming u have the free line from November. Thx

Autopay discount and the free line from 2017 showed up on my account this morning. Strangely, 2020 line on us 3 discount dropped/disappeared. The plan total came down to a little less than what I had for 8 lines. Strange, but I want to see if it changes in the next day or two.

The only thing I did along with the plan change was to add the new free line. Maybe that is somehow related to the 2020 line on us 3 dropping off. Let us see what happens.
I tried to add a line online, it shows $10 sim and $310 monthly. Have to try again after the promo end to see if the monthly cost reflects an increase.
