Starting December 20th customers on an eligible plan with at least 2 paid lines can add a line for free.

Please note: There's a lot of misinformation and confusion around this promo. Inevitable when a promo like this happens half a month after an identical one just ended. Here are some critical nuggets of info:
- The promo is called "2020 Line On Us 4"
- It is fully stackable with "2020 Line On Us 3"
- Internal docs mention a scenario where it isn't stackable. It is referring to "third line free" promos and only to accounts opened on the 20th or later. This appears to be causing confusion.
- 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.
Offer now available. Some reps are not yet aware of the promo's existence, so please be patient with them. You can also add the line as normal online and the promo will automatically apply within a bill cycle.
Ineligible stackable promos:
- iPhone 12 "on us" (2020 Apple Trade Activate P3)
- BOGO iPhone (2020 Apple Buy 2 P11)
- Free Galaxy A71 5G with new line (2020 Samsung Activate P12)
- Free OnePlus 8/8T+ 5G with new line (2020 OnePlus Activate P5)
- Costco BYOD promos
- TFB-exclusive promos

A Costco rep told me T-Mobile should be able to help switch me to a different SC plan without the 5 line cap; I wanted to run this by here to see if this is feasible before spending hours waiting...
Prior Sept. 2020
Simple Choice (I think I had SCFUTT4)
5 lines (2 lines/$80 + 3 lines/$10 each) = $110
Data Add-Ons ($55):
2 lines x SOC: "SCUNL2HHS", name: "Unlimited Nationwide 4G" ($20 x 2)
1 line x SOC: "V6GXDATA", name: "Unlimited High-Speed Included w/ 6GB Mobile Hotspot" ($15)
1 line x SOC: "6SFMGGBB", name: "Unlimited High-Speed Included w/ 6GB Mobile Hotspot" ($0)
1 line no data ($0)
Discount Code: "EMPGSA" (-15%)
$110+55= $165 - discount = $140.25 plus taxes
After Sept. 2020
Simple Choice "SCFUTT6"
6 lines/$120
Data Add-Ons ($55):
2 lines x SOC: "SCUNL2HHS", name: "Unlimited Nationwide 4G" ($20 x 2)
1 line x SOC: "V6GXDATA", name: "Unlimited High-Speed Included w/ 6GB Mobile Hotspot" ($15)
3 lines SOC: "6SFMGGBB", name: "Unlimited High-Speed Included w/ 6GB Mobile Hotspot" ($0)
Discount Code: "EMPGSA" (-15%)
$120+55= $175 - discount = $148.75 plus taxes
I'm currently not receiving a discount for (Line On Us 2 - 20Q32S). Is this because the representative changed my rate plan to SCFUTT6 when I added the line?
Can I receive that discount while being on this plan that has a base rate for 6 lines? If I can't receive the discount while on this rate plan, can a representative look up my previous rate plan and switch it back, so I get the discount?
Next, the representative I've been working with won't adjust the data SOCs on the 3 lines that have data add-ons totaling $55. Any idea how I can ask another rep for adjusting the SOCs? If I can get all my data for free, I'd drop trying to get the discount for the Sept line that I'm missing...Any advice on what to do, how to maximize discounts, and decrease my bill is greatly appreciated.
Lastly, in November I successfully added "2020 Line On Us 3 - 20Q43S) with data line soc: "10SFMGB", name: "Unlimited High-Speed Included w/ 10GB Mobile Hotspot" for $0 plus taxes. I'd like to add another line, but would like to get my September issue resolved first. Just mentioning the SOCs as a reference point, in the case it helps anyone.
Wow that's a pretty good deal on your plan. I wonder if its the 10sfmgb that is causing the problem?
I have 3 lines with the SCUNL2HHS that I want to convert to 6SFMGGBB. I'm curious as to how you were able to get the 6SFMGGBB added onto your 1 line prior to Sept 2020 in the first place? Seems like that is the hardest thing to do right now.
Since you already have it, I'm guessing as long as you keep trying, a knowledgeable rep might be willing to help. It took me 3 different tries to get a rep to upgrade a June/july free line from 2.5gb to 4gb and it required a supervisor (had I known about 6SFMGGBB last week, I wouldve asked for that instead) Perhaps you can start by why you dont get line discount and ask them to change the 10sfmgb soc code to 6SFMGGBB to see if that fixes the problem (unless you want the 10gb hotspot). If they can do it, then mention how you want all your lines to be on the same SOC 6SFMGGBB? The rep who originally helped you do the 3 lines was really nice since you only asked for line.

I need to find out if I can switch numbers and lines within the account so that I can move a heavy data number to the free line to continue to receive kickbacks on the existing line. If that makes sense.
Free, I think both. You just have to verify the sim info to prove that you bought it.

Though I haven't really seen too much value out of 5G in my area to be honest.

That's what happened to me until someone said t-mobile replaced for free. All you have to do is contact tmobile and tell them your purchased unactivated sim cards are expired and ask them to replace them.
