free replacement from store or online?
Free, I think both. You just have to verify the sim info to prove that you bought it.

its all depends on how much u pay for each additional line. in my case its $20. so $40 is correct for me ($20x2)
I pay $25 without auto pay. With Auto pay, it is $20. Does the auto pay discount for this free line shows up separately? As I mentioned, it didn't show up for me. In my case, it should have been $40 LOU3 and then additional $5 in AutoPay...instead it did $45 LOU3. Not sure if others have seen this or not. Thx. This is the 8th line. There is no AutoPay discount for the 8th line. Just for 7 lines as before (10+25). I don't know if the data trick clears some of this up like last time.

Also, if your old unactivated t-mobile sims are "expired" (they have expiration dates on them), you can get them replaced for free from t-mobile. I threw a lot of expired sims out before learning that.
really?? geez. I threw out probably 5 or more of them...back when they were like 50 cents or something. I still have two of them. Whats the procedure?

You can very easily disable the 2nd cellular line in settings when you want to use 5g and then enable it when you need the 2nd line. I use the 2nd line on my phone mainly for T-Mobile Tuesdays so just need to enable it for a short period of time otherwise I'm either on WiFi or 5g even though I have esim and physical sim on my 12 max. Little inconvenient but serves my purpose.
I don't think it would work for my purpose as it's to use the uncapped (no kickback) free data volume on the free line. For that the line would have to be enabled under cellular options for most of the time.
Though I haven't really seen too much value out of 5G in my area to be honest.

Went to Costco and was able to stack the free line promo with the free galaxy A11 promo after rebate + $100 shop card.

My current plan is FUTTVN (Simple Choice Unlimited Talk & Text) which caps out at 5 lines. I did the last free line promo, so I'm not able to add an additional line due to the cap. I would love to switch to SCFUTT4 (Simple Choice 2.5gb). The plans are similar with similar base prices, should a T-force representative be able to help me with this?

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...
your current plan doesn't have data?

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.

I just asked them on Twitter if the new line can be activated on SIM cards I still had laying around. The iPhone 12s recently ordered via apple.com came with new T-Mobile SIM cards so I kept my old ones as spares.

not a lie but uninformed rep. Do not do it or you will lose the free line.

When does this promo end?

Every time I've called about free line promos in the past, T-Mobile has told me my "2 Lines TMO One All In Promo" does not qualify. I still only have 1 free line, and I expect I never will get another free line because T-Mo always exempts my plan. Meanwhile everyone else with cheaper plans will probably end up with more free lines than I have fingers.

Yes, if they don't waive or you don't have unused, existing SIM you can use. $10 new SIM and $20 support or activation fee. Don't know exactly how they name it.
