I called and they let me add a free line to my old unlimited family plan that has 14GB hotspot included. Any suggestions for a cheap phone to use as a hotspot?
Check out this thread where you can get a $100 back for purchasing an unlocked cell phone from Amazon (along with $10 prepaid card). So you can get a low-end phone like the Moto E6 for net ~$20. Must purchase before 12/31:

Huh.. what is the source ? Op mentioned clearly it does not work with Costco BYOD
The BYOD deal ended before this round of LOU started. The current $100 Shop Card is for adding a line at Costco. They're also offering free A11 along with the shop card, so not BYOD.

What the sequence of events you followed. I was going to go into Costco, ask for the new line and $100 card, then go home and message Tforce and ask do send out the 4a since I have the new line added through Costco.
Order the Pixel online as an upgrade to the new line.

Tried tforce already today. They offered me Magenta which I assuredly do not want.
Thanks though.

T-Mobile just told me right now at 6:50 pm pacific time that they canceled this promotion. Now you need to have 3 lines and the 4th is free.

edit: worked on chat. the rep I spoke to had no idea what he was doing.

Keep trying. I was on that plan and changed in November to take advantage of the deal. Took me a couple tries to find the right rep willing to do it.

That's interesting. I just got done adding my 5th line and they didn't mention that. Although I do already have 3 paid lines and just 1 free line before this.

I added the free line yesterday and ported a Verizon line to take it over.

The people that work at the porting centre really are class A idiots.

They ported the Verizon line in as a new paid line in addition to my free line.

The T-force guy I am talking with is offering to cancel the free line now, and states I will face no consequences.

Will I be ineligible for upgrades for 90 days? What other consequences are there?

I'd rather them just give me another free line since it wasn't my mistake

I think t-force should be able to fix this for you. Maybe they have to switch the promo to the line you ported in and than drop the paid line?

Looks like it's pretty evident now you can go to Costco and get the $100 card and it's eligible for the free line. Now the real question at this point is it possible to now get that Pixen 4a 5G for 50% in conjunction? Any ideas on how that might work?
Quote from xalagaco View quoted comment :
I don't see why not. I've done exactly that.
I'm interested in getting a new device, here are the options I have so far

Option#1:
Adding a "free" line I can get 50% OFF Google Pixel 4a 5G ($500-50%off)= $250 over 24 months.

Option#2:
Adding a "paid" line I can get a FREE OnePlus 8T+5G, just $10 per month (cost of "paid" line) for 24 months, a total of $240

Can I get the Costco $100 gift card for either option? Can I get this Costco gift card for both options if I decide to get 2 devices?


Thanks

Via leaks from reliable insiders/employees. These threads tend to compliment the reddit threads of the same topic.
I really want to get in on one of the hookup deals... But I'm aware that may require a new account. Hard to get off of the family plan I'm on now and suddenly have to pay $80 for two lines and wait for the free lines to come... And in 2019, there were none!!
But there was in 2019, well insider hookup anyways, not LOU. Same "insider/employee" as the OP here and most other free line, insider hookup threads here and on reddit. I missed that one too as I was still farting around with Sprint.

Me too. Smilie But only if I can convince a rep to stack that on existing account. No way opening new account and starting tenure from scratch and then missing out on the next loyalty trade-in rebate.
I joined TMO in June (after seeing JMAN100's heads up thread) for the back to back free 3rd line and then next day Free line on us double dip.
In September, when the next double dip for new customers PLUS insider hookup came along, I had the same thoughts as you, and wife tried to open up new account to get a good base of hookup plus 2 free lines. She ran into Sprint former customer "Curse" plus Fraud flag (for no reason). . .couldn't get it rectified in online, on chat, exec care at first, or even by going into store to verify indentity. . .and after dealing with Exec office for a week they finally got her account opened with Free Line on us (as the 3rd line) and insider hookup. . .but they said they couldn't add the free 3rd line on us anymore. So was stuck with free 3rd, 4th, 5th on mine with no hookup, of free 3rd only with hookup on hers. Chatted with Exec office (Amor) for another week or two. . .and finally she got tired of me and agreed to adding the insider hookup to my existing account. Would say very situational and YMMV extreme, but it is possible.
