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.
You have to ask reps to move you to the 2 for $120 plan (SOC FRLTULF2). That's what I and a lot of others did. You then have to ask them to move over Kickback and All In Promo over to new plan and also add those add-ons to new free line(s) for consistency. It works but it can be a bit of a hassle.

More like $13 a month with taxes and fees, which over time adds up and cuts into my budget. I wouldn't say I'm crying about it, but just trying to see how I can maximize my savings, that's all. Thought you could've shared some of your knowledge, but I apologize for the inconvenience that my post has caused you. Happy holidays, nonetheless.
I made a detailed post about possibly getting free unlimited data on your lines, search for it in this thread. Hopefully you can get a rep to help you add it to all your lines. Good luck.

Regarding your soc change. The base plan of 6 lines is included in the price so you won't see any of those 6 lines to be "free" as they're included. Anything beyond 6 lines would start seeing paid or free line codes... you plan has a max of 10 voice lines

Thanks. I would love more details because I have very little confidence getting a competent T-Mo rep who can do this properly. What I expect would happen instead is I would lose all my promos permanently and be told the system won't let them re-add it because I lost my "grandfathered" status, and instead of paying $80 per month I would end up paying $120 + tax.

Is there a step-by-step guide one can follow to guarantee success doing this or is it a risky move? Heck, I'm afraid to try T-Mobile Home Internet for $50 because if they add it I expect some clueless rep to screw up my current All In promo if I cancelled it.

not a lie but uninformed rep. Do not do it or you will lose the free line.
Yup, I had conversation with a (informed rep) on twitter and when I asked about OP 8 vs 8T+ she said:

"Sorry about that! The One Plus 8 and the One Plus 8T + would be the same promotion, and I will make sure that gets worded better."

is it better to switch from Magenta to One plan? I previously had One plan and then they moved me to Magenta because buy 2 lines get one free. But now after reading here, I'm wondering if I should go back?

But I would lose my one free line so my bill would go from 120-140.

Do you have to pay any sim card and activation fees? I was told I am gonna be charged $30 in shipping + fees.
$10 for sim card, $20 for assist fee. Pretty standard unless you managed to talk a rep into waiving one or both. Or add the line yourself online and end up just paying for the $10 sim card. It'll be like you're adding a paid line, which you are (same as what reps do), but the free line discount will be picked up automatically after the fact if your plan qualifies.

Even if everything is worked as per the plan is plan cost going to increase from 80$ to 100$?

I'm so confused about all the promotions. We are family of 5, my son need to upgrade his phone(iphone 7 speaker is broken), I could use an new phone(currently iphone 6).
Which should we switch to get the best deal right now? Tmobile or visible?

How do you get the Insider discount? Does it need to be applied when you create the account or it could be applied after the account has been created?
I am not really sure it was setup long time ago. All I know after all available discount, my final bill is $64 including less than 2GB usage. Do you have the same plan and was able to get the free line added to your plan?

Here is my conversation regarding the plan change with T-Force on Twitter:
https://slickdeals.net/f/14713250-t-mobile-customers-add-a-line-for-free-starting-december-20th?p=144023981#post144023981

Then I called 611 at night and asked the overseas team to also add the promo add-ons to new free line so that all lines on the account have the All In promo (no kickback on the free line of course):

As I said it needs some time and the right reps to make it happen as I struggled with reps in the past to switch to a different T-Mobile One plan.
Good luck!

The newer plan would move you over to the $120 plan from your $100 plan, or $96 from your $80 plan if you include the hookup discount. Its easier just to use the Pre Hookup discount price as it is easier for everyone to understand. Best to do it via chat or T-Force as they quite often make mistakes, agent or the system.

That is correct (after kickbacks), but it allows you to get more free lines in the future (hopefully) and it also includes $10.99 Netflix Standard (HD) contribution. So you have to factor that in, too.
