Does anyone know what happens if we're on the 4-8 line plan code, but get moved over into the 9-12 line plan code, and end up dropping a line (free or paid) down the road?

I'm currently on 8 lines (the max for this plan code) and if I take advantage of the free line deal, I would have to be pushed into the 9-12 plan code.

But there is always a possibility down the road that someone on my family plan may be leave. Which would put me back into 8 lines for the family (paid and free).

Would I be forced back into a 4-8 plan code?

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.
My T-Mobile ONE plan has been tax and fees included for the last 3+ years.

what is your soc now? Depend on what promo you have and which plan you moving to. I switched from TE to TI and lost friends & Family 2 lines. You will pay a base cost of 9 lines, either convert back to 8 lines or pay the same.

Yes. Or you can even switch /replace your paid line by free line. But all after 1 year of taking the free line.
How does it work? I need to port out and port back in replacing one of the free lines? I have free lines from years past....can I do it to those?

Do you know if the business family discount is impacted?

TIA just trying to understand how to do it strategically.

What's your ti soc now? I lost friends n family 2 line promo too when I moved from te to ti. Still trying to get that promo back after I got rep to put me to FRLTULFM2 which is suppose to be compatible with that promo

TIULFM9. How much are you paying for 4 lines? I was told $160 for 4 with 5 free, I have to wait for the bill to know. Let me know how it goes with FRLTULFM2.

Ask them what SOC (https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...340439917) that would be and then check and confirm yourself before making a mistake.

I was on the same plan (FRLTUL2LP) until yesterday and then had luck with a T-Force rep on Twitter who allowed me to change to the T-Mobile One plan 2 for $120 (FRLTULF2) and moving kickbacks and All In One promo over to the new plan. This plan is still a bit more expensive ($100 for 2 lines after kickbacks) but
- it finally allows to add free lines (and I hope there will be more of those in 2021)
- it has Netflix Standard HD included or with a $3 supplemental fee which my wife wanted to have anyway
- I still have a separate $15 T-Mobile Connect line which I can then stop paying in favor of the free line

So for me it worked out. The 611 overseas rep was then even able to add the One Plus Promo add-on also to the new free line.
can T-Mobile transfer the hookup discount to the new plan?I am on FRLTUL2LP now,

I'm currently on the FRLTUL4LP plan. Its the T-Mobile One plan with the One Plus promotion. Kickback/autopay/insider discount.

Was planning on possibly moving to the FRLTULFM9 to take advantage of the free line.

But as mentioned, someone in the family may move out of the family plan in the future so I would be back to 8 lines on the family plan.
