If you just added a new line, you can get the Pixel 4a 5G 50% off deal (I'm going to do the same too).
You can even just ordered it online yourself as an upgrade to your new line.
For LOU3, after I got the line at Costco I contacted T-Force to get the Pixel 4a 5G deal (It was free with trade-in at that time) but the agent insisted charging $20 assistance fee. She told me to just order it myself and I'd get the 100% discount even though the website only showed 50%. She said "just came back with the screenshot of the chat if I ended up with only 50%). I haven't got the bill yet but my Account History does show the correct promotion with 100% credit.
No, the phone is locked. You'll need to (1) pay it off early, and (2) use it on T-Mobile for 40 days before you can request an unlock.
Did you trade in for 4a with LOU3? Or did you do the 50 percent off for new line, but online gave you 100 percent off?

How long does it usually take tmo to complete a trade in after they receive the device? Do they send a confirmation email or a txt letting you know the trade in has been completed? A bit off topic but tia.

It took me almost 3 weeks and yes, they'll send you a text saying the trade in is completed.

Yes, for existing line. I believe the user was going to add line and get the iPhone mini 12 on the new line at the same time. I don't think that is stackable. He can add new line and then later upgrade iPhone 12 mini by trading his iPhone 8 in. Does that make sense now?
Yes, this is what i plan to do, add the iphone mini on the new free line, BUT the rep needs iPhone 8 IMEI # right now I was hoping to buy one from ebay before shipping it back to Tmobile! So the iphone 12 mini offer ending tomorrow, dont expect to get IMEI before then and have to let go of this offer unfortunately

How does the iphone 12 mini deal works? I currently have iphone x that I can trade it. Does it mean tmobile would be giving me an instant trade in value of 730 or would it determine the actual trade in value first (say $200), which means the remaining $730-200 = $530 credit would be split over 24 months? Is that how it works? Thanks.

Yes, I did it with trade-in.
When I ordered online, it only showed 50% off even with trade in because 100% off was for adding a line and buying the phone at the same time.

Did you trade in credits expire then since most people only have 30 days?
My trade in is due 12/25.
Mines is delivered but it has been 1 week. I'm wondering if my trade in promotion will go away on 12/25 and I need to call tmobile.

Initial value as a one-time credit, and the remaining value split up over the next 24 months. The checkout process will have exact numbers.

Not correct, I had One Plus Promo added to my Nov free line and will try to add on this LOU 4 line soon. I even had them add kickback on my Nov line, but it didn't really make a difference since the I didn't see any real savings with the kickback as it would offset the free line cost. So I just removed kickback off the LOU 3 from November -- didn't make a difference either way.
WTF! Tried 3 times (twice in chat with rep via dialing 611 and once via TForce) to get One Plus Promo (not the phone, but the add on service) added to free line and shot down each time saying it cant be done, i wish i could, escalated to back office support and they couldnt either etc!

Read your post and was encouraged to try one more time. Dialed 611 and spoke to rep. 30 seconds greetings/salutations and to explain what I wanted then 20 seconds for her to add it and get a confirmation, "OK its done, I added it"!!!!

Bottom line - it truly depends on who you speak with.

Assuming you have had the ONE Plus promo already on main lines... right ?

It seems T-Mobile likes to kick off free line deals every three years.

Whats the best way to get a t-mobile number under someone else's plan onto my plan but as part of this new free line? Can I port that number to Google and then ask t-mobile to port that back to my account as the free one? How long would all that take? Is there a minimum time I have to wait before I can port in and out?

I asked rep if they could just move the account over to free one and they said no since that is change of responsibility. they also said if I got free line that I would have to keep that number associated with it forever. I'm not sure if I have a use of a free line for no reason and she also said I'd have to pay $30 + tax for sim + activation.
