Baguda,
How about to look at this from a different perspective. We may pay less on our monthly bill, but waste too much time dealing with T-Mobile.
You can find something you enjoy that can make you an extra $50 or so every month and you will be happier and less stressed out.
Wise words and probably true. Smilie

I agree with you that it's very time consuming and difficult and just sticking with a cheaper older plan may be better than all the aggravation. I didn't have several consecutive hours to spend on this issue until today, and I'm not hopeful this will work out for me. I got switched to another rep, and we'll see if she can figure it out how to switch to FRLTULF2 when the last rep said it was inactive.

I've watched many of these free line promos go by before, I'd peek in to these threads to confirm my plan was excluded, and then I'd move on. It wasn't until this time that GreenCreature437 posted a solution that I figured it was worth a shot. It's too bad we can't identify the reps who know how to do this and then request them rather than trial and error with random reps.

Thanks so much. I've been in chat for the last 30+ minutes (on top of the 30 minutes to get my first chat response) and the upshot is this T-Force rep via Facebook chat claims FRLTULF2 is not a currently active plan so she can't do anything. So I should ask for a supervisor or hope if 611 calls me back someone there will know?

I forgot if you had a free line with your FRLTUL2LP plan, but if you did (as I do) then I should be able to move that free line to FRLTULF2 and add 2 second free line with this promo? IOW, I don't lose my existing free line when moving between these 2 plans?

We'll see what happens but considering how much time it has taken already and being told no, I'm not optimistic. It's easily 5-10 minutes between messages in chat. I assume it's not always this bad but just everyone else adding a free line at the last minute.
He is correct that it's no longer an active plan. But this doesn't mean plans cannot be changed (especially within the same family of plans). You can try to insist that it is possible and that you appreciate his time and don't want to waste it and happy to speak to a supervisor or a 2nd level support person who has the power/permission/whatever to make those changes. It would even make them a little bit more money as you would have to pay more for the changed plan (though you hope that some of the features on the plan will offset those cost for you).
I only had the FRLTUL2LP plan with 2 lines. I missed the one free line that they offered once. So if you have that you even have an advantage to me. Smilie

Freaking awesome! Finally got switched over to FRLTUL2LP to FRLTULF2. The rep did have to talk to their lead and get help on the transition. Took a little bit of time, I only assume because the rep had to keep relaying to the lead.
Everything is updated I even got the kickback as well! Also the rep sent me a link to activate my Netflix .
I mean this is truly a slick. Netflix, and kick back worth $10 bux if I stay under 2gb a month per line.
I also got the sim card sent to me for free along with activation. I had to pay up front but, they just credit it back to my account.

Glad it worked out for you. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@Baguda - another proof that it still works to get ONE plans switched.

FRLTUL2LP should normally have kickback as far as I remember. It was one of the reasons I switched to it from Simple Choice back in the days.

I've added a line about 9 days ago & everything looks fine. I am seeing saving
$20.00 2020 Line on Us 3 (Additional Lines)
I thought it supposed to be 4 instead 3 because 3 was for Nov. is that means I can add another free line?

Another thing you can try is to chat on tmobile with a rep. That is how I did mine. You can do it either via the app on your phone or via the web browser on pc

Agreed. Just need to keep trying and get the right rep. In November I got one to move me from FRLTUL2LP to FRLTULFM2. I had 3 paid lines at the time but only 2 of them had Kickback and the ONE Plus Promo. Took a couple chats but finally got them to add Kickback and ONE Plus to that third paid line and then later to my November free line and December free line. They aren't active Promos but you find the right rep who is willing to do the work you can still get them if you already have lines on your account with them.

Someone reported they got a free phone last round many are trying for Costco a11, if you go for it make sure to get it from Costco since you get a 90 day return policy

Added my new line on the 27th. Got notified today was switching me to a new plan since my T-Mobile One plan was obsolete. Now my bill is up $35!!!!! Frustrating since I verified with T-Mobile support I was eligible for the free line. I will drop T-Mobile if they don't switch me back.
