Assuming you have had the ONE Plus promo already on main lines... right ?
That is correct - had it on 10 prior lines and now have it on 11th and 12th (two free recent ones).

It seems T-Mobile likes to kick off free line deals every three years.
... you mean every 3 months, not years... right ?

140 for 4 lines
Thanks... and then you get kickback/autopay as well?


With the T Mobile One plan I have 4 paid lines for $160, but with autopay and kickbacks it comes down to 120 for 4. is One Plus better than that price ?

Side question, how warm of a deal is the 50% off the Pixel 4a 5G? I actually don't need the phone for anything more than hotspotting - I currently use only cellular data via 3 hotspots at home, and while I have an TMO line with unlimited hotspot (old One International addon), it is the least stable internet connection choice I have, most likely due to the old phone I'm using. I'm thinking a new phone with ALL the possible TMO bands and 5G would help make it more usable. Would this be the cheapest choice for me right now, or is there something else better for a similar price out there? TIA!

5G NSA (non-standalone) is barely any better than LTE. I personally haven't been able to access a single SA tower since the network is so tiny for it. If you're in one of the tiny areas where they re-farmed band 41, then you'd be in luck.

However, even without 5G, you could benefit from band 71, which is on phones from 2018 onwards.

It took me almost 3 weeks and yes, they'll send you a text saying the trade in is completed.
Did the text come to your main number or the LOU3 line? Asking because mine is ported over.

Added a line online few days ago and now see promo "2020 Line On Us 3" (Not 4) was added to my account. Is that typical for those that already did not have the #3 promo?

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.
It's based on shipping post mark date. I have done where I ship it at day 29th. Just make sure to get a shipping receipt as confirmation.

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.
Yes you can use Google voice to do this. I read many times in this thread that you need to wait 90 days, but I think that's in reference to not having the line be a "win back"... Which wouldn't apply to your situation.

All my numbers are Google voice... Specifically to avoid this sort of nonsense.

Sorry it is Years! Last time the year was 2017 when T-Mobile kicked off free lines.

Sigh. 0 for 3, trying both T-force on twitter and 611. I'm on the TMO ONE All In Promo plan (FRLTUL2LP) and trying to move to the Tmo One with Netflix (FRLTULF2), and keep all my add-ons. Closest was 611, overseas, but she was trying to move me to Magenta and said that even with FRLTULF2, she couldn't move my kickback over, as it was only for my original plan.
Does anyone know where to find these competent Tmo reps who can make the switch and keep everything intact? Reddit? I know I only tried 3 times so far, but my friend was able to do it, and the last time, the queue time was an hour before I could speak to a rep.

Keep trying! Someone will be willing to help you to move your plan.

Added the free line through online T-mobile account to save the service fee. Once the sim card shipped, the promotion appeared on my account. Very nice.

Am I eligible on "TIUL4L" T-Mobile One with 8 lines currently? Last time this deal came around the store rep told me my rates would mostly because I wouldn't get the kick back anymore but it seems like another grandfathered plan is able to get around it?
I have the same TIUL4L plan with 6 lines now. I was told 2 days ago that 8 lines is the limit for that SOC.
