If you have an old, unused TMO SIM card you can also use that and add the line to it. Then they don't charge you for a new SIM card.
I had trashed old SIM cards previously. Best practice is now to keep them somewhere as they might become handy in the future (more free lines).
Quote from InFor3 View quoted comment :
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.
Where do you go to get this? I have tried Chat and Calling CS and also in-store, but no one has ever been able to swap out my unused, never-activated, but expired T-Mobile SIM cards before.

Costco's running free A11 via virtual prepaid card plus $100 Shop Card when you activate a line there.
Promo code: 2020COSTCOSAMSUNG7
Do you need to be a Costco member to do this?


Quote from nappyloxs View quoted comment :
This year there have been 4 lines on us. June, September, November, and December.

I don't know why it is ymmv. System either accepts it or rejects it but as terms say it may take a month or two to find out if system accepts it. I discovered one clue is terms and conditions of promos. They are phrased a bit differently. I haven't seen the TC for this promo though.
I missed the June one, but got in on September and November and hopefully this one too. Has there been an actual official page or announcement from T-Mobile about this promotion? I've only seen the info here, but never anything formally published by T-Mobile on this promo.

Anyone on TIULFM9 soc and still not seeing the free line applied? It has been more than 32 hours now. Thanks.
Same here. Chatted few times some say it is there, some say cannot combine.

Btw, do you guy have the original 4th line on us (open 3 lines get 4th free) transfer over? Agent say not compatible with September and my plan will go up $25. I think they confuse with different promo.

confirmed from multiple reps that it is free, it shows up in the eligible soccodes as well. under account history the charges are listed as 0.00 however it hasn't showed up under promotions. Only reps have told me they can see it as free line on their end but dont have a way to send screenshot or anything to show to me.

I gave the number on the SIM card to the T-Force rep on Twitter and she activated the new free line on that SIM card. Didn't have to send a new one.

Though in my case it wasn't expired.

I don't think kickback exists on Magenta plans. It was an add-on on the T-Mobile ONE plan which a lot still have and try to keep.

i had the ONE plan and got switched to magenta when it first came out. they said same thing, etc. Then I couldn't switch back. I didn't care at the time because all users were power users consuming almost 50 GB /mo each! so we never qualify to get kick back discounts. But now they bare use data and we don't have kick back LMAO
Tforce is so bad for me. They made a mistake that removed my free line from NOV and they don't know how to get it back. This rep i'm currently talking to is the 5th one since last night.
they said they are replacing it with the free line currently being offered "so it's all good " (WFT!!!). I'm playing roulette with them now.
I got iphone 12 mini on one of my existing paid line promo P29 that just got changed to P25 yesterday and they don't know how to change it back. insisting it doesn't matter since both are the same.
i'm starting to really hate t-force!

Mine is a bit different.

For LOU3 (11/25), the break down was as following

$20 2020 LOU3 (Additional Lines)
$5 AutoPay Discount (Additional Lines)

For LOU4 (12/20), the break down is

$45 2020 LOU3 (Additional Lines).

Comments:

1) Promo stacks on top of LOU3 instead of LOU4
2) It doesn't break down AutoPay discount separately. It lumps the entire cost of $25 as discount on top of LOU3.

Not sure if others have seen this as well. Thx
Quote from kenpet View quoted comment :
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.
Another update. See the attached. Now Autopay is correctly reflected. And the discount on the LOU3 (from Nov) is $40 since it is reflecting both LOU3 and LOU4 (Dec 20 promo).

Me. What are you worried about? It will show in a while. Who cares
So, it's best to left it alone and it eventually will go through? I'm afraid that when the promo ends, they can't fix it later and I'll lose the free line. Been there, done that with the first free line this year.

T Mobile One with kickbacks is not tax/fees-included, so that tax and fees will have to be paid on the free lines. It would be amazing if T Mobile gives people kickbacks on FREE lines.

Yes. Or you can even switch /replace your paid line by free line. But all after 1 year of taking the free line.

Please advise. I am currently on a Simple Choice NAFUTT4 plan, maxed out 10 lines and rep offers to switch me to a T-Mobile One plan with 12 voice lines, she said i'll be able to keep my existing free lines along with this new free line and cost will be the same. Is this true? And what's the minimum number of lines I need to stay on this T-Mobile One 12 maxed lines plan? I need advise on here since she gave me wrong info yesterday, so I don't wang to give up my simple choice and change to something I might regret later. Thanks all
