I believe it to be 2017 or 2018

I have exactly the same plan as yours. When did you get your third free line? I was told this particular plan capped at 3 lines. But I am very curious how did you get the third free line which I was never able to do so from all previous free line promotion.

I apologize if this has already been asked, but I can port in my google voice number to one of these "free" lines without it going "paid" right!? Thank you!
Yes, you can port in from anyone and stay as free line.

Now this is a big deal. my mom in-law uses a ton of data and has no discounts, while my own mom barely uses any, yet she has the 50% off BOGO deal from 2017.

Did it take a lot of explanation and rep-roulette to find someone who would do this number swap?
It took some back back and forth communication for me to properly express what I want to achieve.
I will give it a try after the next bill if everything is still in line by then and request it with their term "number swap".
I stay mostly on wifi and get the kickback. The free line is also not heavily used and would then also get the kickback while my wife can consume all the data on reddit and Facebook and Pinterest without killing my $10 monthly discount. Wink

Has anyone with '2020 Line On Is 3' able to move a voice line to data/digits/watch line and get the '2020 Line On Is 4' without losing the '2020 Line On Is 3'?


OR, if you have the full terms of the '2020 Line On Is 3', that would be very helpful.

i am really sorry if this is a repeat question (pretty sure it is). i am on the Tmobile ONE All in Promo plan with 2 lines (SOC FRLTUL2LP). I pay $80 per month after kick back and auto pay discount.

I am looking to add 2 to 3 more lines to my plan for my kids (if i can get the phones as well that would be a HUGE plus for me).
What would be the best way to get this promotion? How much can i expect my cost per month to go up?

in the past whenever i contacted tmobile, i was never eligible for any promotion.

Would really really appreciate it if some one can guide me..

I have two free lines and two lines which are 50% off. So the goal would be to move the data hogs in my family to those lines. In the past, TMO has insisted that add on/discounts cannot move from one line to another.

I appreciate any insight and feedback that youve got. Number swap sounds more like something with porting honestly, but if thats the jargon they use, so be it!

Hello, sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I went through the entire thread and did not see anything.

I am currently on the 55+ for about 3 years now. I understand this plan wouldn't qualify, however, is it worth upgrading to one of the 3 main plans for 120 in order to get this? Id like to have 4 lines instead of the two. My wife can use one for her consulting and I could use one for Craigslist and other bs. I saw there were 4 deals this year alone. Would I have had 6 lines at this point? I could port in my kids at that point, but it would only be worth it for us and the four of them. I know this is more of a preference thing, thank you in advance for any insight.

I did something similar to what you're considering, though I guess I didn't completely max it out. I had the 55+ plan for a few years, and I finally bit the bullet this year after seeing the multiple free lines. I waited for the 20% Insider discount to be available, and I signed up a single new line. I had a couple issues with that, but that's neither here nor there.

After all the issues were worked out, I did a Change Of Responsibility to move the 55+ lines over. This made my cost $112/mo for 3 lines. Since then, I've been able to take advantage of the free line in November, and I am hoping that this new line will be free as well. My account currently shows the 2 x Line on Us 3 (at least that is what I'm assuming since it's $40), and I'm still showing an account total of $112/mo, but now for 5 lines.

If you are able to play the long(er) game, you can keep waiting for additional free lines and gradually move people onto this plan. That's kind of my plan for now. Some of my family don't want to move to T-Mobile, but I'm hoping that the Sprint merger will bring improved coverage over time. Also, with the free lines, I feel comfortable letting them test the service to see if they are ok with it before moving over.

Had started with T-mobile in Nov 2020 for 2020 Line On us 3 (using Costco 200 rebate)
Resubmitted for $100 promotion for port-in.
12/22 - added a new line for free (except SIM cost) for 2020 Line On Us 4 but no phone.

If anyone got a free phone, pl let me know.

Ok, so there is a $30 cost associated with it - maybe good to update the thread. Could not find a single comment about it. Thank you!!

So i need to take a trip to a local tmobile shop to get that new SIM. any advice on verbiage i can use to have credit said fees?
It's honestly just luck of the draw. Just ask them nicely.

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?
No, I didn't add the free line.

I'm maxed out at 10 lines on my Simple Choice Family Unlimited Talk &Text code: SCFUTT4.

Has anybody been successful to switch to another plan with more lines, preferably 12, while keeping all the promos?

I have talked to 3 reps and they all said that I would lose the promos when switching to another comparable plan.

Question for all you T-mo gurus.

I got a text saying "Congrats! You will receive your promotional service discount from T-mobile as long as you maintain eligibility" View URL for account details".

I opened the URL and shows that my bill is going up from $115 to $150.
Should I be worried?
I'm currently with Magenta Plus, 2 paid lines, 2 free. And I just applied for the 3rd free line.
Usually take a billing cycle to show correctly (was told same thing by a rep and they confirmed that it was there).

However - someone posted earlier a trick to get it to show up immediately. On the free line you added - go to Manage Add On and change the data to "No Data" and save. Then go back in there and change it back to what it was (mine was changed from Tmobile One to No Data and then back to Tmobile One) and it showed up right away. My bill went back down to what it was before I added the free line and the promo showed up as applied to my account.

You read through the 163 previous pages and couldn't find a comment about the $20 support fee and $10 fee for a new SIM?

You might want to read through them again -- it's been mentioned dozens of times.
