Currently autopay discount doesnt show up in cost details after changing the plan to magenta 9-12....Rep says wait till bill generates...it used to show up for me with 8 lines plan...should i be worried? did the rep mess up?


Quote from chrissmith :
It is a glitch in their system. The 8 line plan stacks the discounts correctly, while the 9-12 line plan does it from the last line. Not only that, it discounts all lines at $30. That's different from the plan breakdown. Hence, most people will see big drops in the plan total. Don't know if it will stick though. Have to wait until the new bill generates.

This is the plan breakdown for 9 lines+

$75+$55+$25+$25+$25+$25+$25+$25 (8 Lines) = $280 Before autopay
$280 - $40 = $240 after autopay

$280 (8 Lines) + $30 (9th Line) = $310 for 9 Lines before autopay
$310 - $40 = $270 after autopay for 9 lines.

So, the discount for 9th line should be $30, and $20 for lines 1-8. Instead the 9 line plan shows a discount of $30 for all free lines. That is why you are seeing a big drop in your plan total.

No. This is not a data only SIM card; but voice+data; so won't work. You might be able to get it changed later to data only.. but now right now
are you saying this free line is for phone only? but down the road I can switch this over to a tablet line? Don't want to pay $4 in taxes even though it's a free line but if i can switch this to tablet later, would be great. thanks

I want to move my brother's 3 lines to my Tmobile Magenta plan, he is currently with Verizon paying a lot more , but only have limited data shared use. His employer is paying most of the bill, so if I bring him to my plan, it will actually lower my out of pocket pay, but I need to change him as account holder in order for the reimbursement, how can I do it? I heard that there's something called change of responsibility, does it solve the problem? Thanks.

Just curious - has anyone been able to add a line online, without CSR/TForce/hat? Especially of you had done "2020 Line On Us 3" already ?
You can always add a line online yourself (assuming you're not at your plan line limit). Note, you're not adding a "free" line and there's no free discount code or anything like that. You add the line like you're adding paid line and if you're eligible for the free line, it will be automatically picked up in the system.

Even if you have a CSR or T-Force add the line, they just add the same line as you do. They're not checking a box for "add free line" when they add the line. They just add a line, like you can yourself, and it ends up being free if your plan qualifies for the promotion.

I tried this last time, and THREE different "Experts" on three separate calls said we could do it. Then they changed my plan and raised my bill. They promised credits they never delivered. I wasted about 12 hours on the on the phone with them, about half of that waiting for someone to answer the phone. So, be careful. They don't seem to do business as they did before the merger (trouble-free). Problem is- I don't know that AT&T or Verizon aren't even worse.
i had att before tmobile and i have been with tmobile for 6+ years now. compare to att, tmobile is so much better. unlike att want to get you off the phone asap, tmobile experts actually want to to help you solve the problem/issues. most of the experts i called in know their stuff. never have any issue that they didnt took care of it within mins. i went from grandfather plan to magenta, and yesterday from mangenta2 to magenta9 without any issue all credits show up and my monthly actually drop $10 due to the error on their end.

Quote from dishguy :
same SOC as yours, if you can find the right person to do it, you won't need to change your plan, and the lines you're paying for data can be changed to the free SOC as well.

See above and yes.

​I don't think you have to change your plan, but you could see if they can change your plan to SCUTTF6. Keep in mind that is a legacy plan so you need to find someone who knows what they're doing and willing to help. Everything in your current plan should stick. But, the UNL SOC should be applicable to your current plan also, see my post above.

try texting 611 instead of calling. International support seems to be more helpful but I've also had good luck with some east coast and west coast US based reps. There are different levels of techs (as far as I know) those who are veterans have more knowledge on how to do/change things. As for the SOC to use, I posted 78/122 because as far as I can tell, either or both can be used, so ask them to try one and if it doesn't work, ask them to try another.

see my post above, even with a nice rep, if they don't have the capability, they may not be able to do it. But they can always ask a lead or supervisor for help. Problem is that sometimes the lead is not necessarily a more seasoned employee.

I am not familiar with your SOC, but I have very similar add-ons as you on my Simple Choice plan, so if data is all you want, then try having them apply the SOCs I specified in the spreadsheet and if they say it's not compatible, ask them if they can bump you to the Simple Choice SOC and then try. That might be tough since you're looking at all grandfathered options. BUT with the right rep it can be done.

----
Here are some pointers and notes. I am not the author of the spreadsheet, I found it either here or on reddit or Jmans Discord, can't remember. The first time I had tried someone to apply SOC from the list, I got denied (several months ago). I didn't start out by asking to have the SOC applied. The most important thing is that it CAN be done. Have patience, don't get frustrated and if it doesn't seem to be working with the rep you have, let it go and try another day or on a different platform.

I think over the past 10+ years as a customer, I've had at least 3 reps that I know went above and beyond, were knowledgeable and helped me out. Good luck to you all, and hopefully you guys can get the data upgraded for yourselves as well!
@dishguy

Thanks for responding. Appreciate your replies.

I was in the same boat two months ago with the limit to 4 lines SC plans. Then got hold of nice rep who moved me to SCFUTT6 legacy plan without getting rid of my fam stateside intl feature. The only problem is she couldn't apply SCUNL2HHS line-level soc to bump unlimited data on a few of the lines for $20 each. I wouldn't mind paying extra for unl data on few lines. My account is 13+ years.

The SOC you got applied for bump unlimited data was sweet! Do you remember by chance which add-on SOC you asked them to apply to bump unlimited data?

Another option is if you can take a look at Inspect page when you login to your T-Mobile account. It should show all the SOC for your account and Add-On SOC.

We will be grateful if can get us the SOC from your Inspect page in Edge or Safari.

I will try texting today 611 to try SOC from line 78/122 of xls.

Thanks again for your help and posting link to the xls

I called and added a line, also a number can be ported in, so I can add an extended family member to my plan. I called T-Mobile first to make sure my plan is eligible, easier than figuring out my code.

the new sim chip is on the way, but I will be paying one more dollar per month starting in January due to the Netflix price increase. I still am satisfied with the service and cost.
Keep in mind that you will still need to pay your local taxes on that free line you just added. So you'll be seeing more than just $1 extra due to netflix price increase.

I got my free line. I had a sim card and called T-Mobile and line was added. No additional fees/charges.

The only thing is that I see the -- $40.00 2020 Line on Us 3 (Additional Lines) - for 2 free lines.. And not the 4 Line on Us???

I don't think I saw anyone posting that have seen the correct promo added, right?

Does anyone know if its possible to add a 11th line to a simple choice NA plan? I already have 10 voice lines and 1 data line (hotspot for car). Wondering if I could add this free line?
