[Not A Joke], I think I just scored one of the biggest LOU deals in history, in one call.


So, we started out with a MAG 55+ plan which caps you at 2 lines for $70.
Yesterday I called and asked to changed the plan to the: USCFM4-Simple Choice Unlimited FM 4/$150 w. 14GB HS. But since I only had 2 active lines to work with, the rep and his supervisor was able to get me moved to the SCFUTTBD-Simple Choice Unlimited Promo for $100, which is for 2 lines with 7GB HS. After that, on the same call, I was able to have the rep add the 3rd LOU3 without charge. Since I had an extra sim laying around.

Fast forward to this morning... I called and spoke with another agent and all I wanted were some free sim cards. Well, LSS, we wound up adding 3 additional lines - which I hope were free, because they show no charge on the individual line. But the total for the monthly charge on the SC plan went up by $120. I think that is for accounting purposes, jic the lou code is ever removed, they will revert to charging $40 per line.

My account shows this:
1. Simple Choice Unlimited Promotion - $220.00/mo Plus taxes and fees.
2. Applied discounts and promotions: $40 2020 Line on Us 3 (Additional Lines)

When I made the change from MAG 55+ to SCU, it showed a total price of $100.00.
But, as I stated above, each new individual line shows a charge of $0.00.
So this is telling me that the LOU are 100% Stackable and that Simple Choice plans are completely able to be paired with free lines. I believe my plan has a max of 6, because I no longer have the option to add more lines.

So, All in all I believe that I have scored 4 FREE LOU lines and am paying for two, which is a total of 6 lines for $100.00/Mo + taxes, fees & phone charges.

Can someone confirm for me that the: Applied discounts and promotions: $40 2020 Line on Us 3 (Additional Lines) is applied to all of my additional added lines?
Merry Christmas & HNY to me! Thanks T-Mo!
Is this a joke???EEK!EEK!EEK!
220 - 40 = 180

well, that's exactly why I need guidance I have a whole 30 days to get this thing sorted out. I just paid the first bill, which was $50.00 from the 55+ plan.
I'm Not sure what the girl did, but it took her over an hour and a half to get the 3 lines added. She was in the background getting all sorts of deposits credited etc. that's why I need to figure this whole thing out. I'm not trying to have incur a $200.00+ bill...no no no! I may have to 86 this whole thing ..fast!
Some people on here have said it may take a few days to billing cycles to auto adjust, so...

Their phone hold times are more than 3 hours.

Happy new year folks !!!

I added a free line at Costco on Dec 23rd, also bought the V11 phone with rebate, haven't submitted the rebate yet.
I was given a temp number at Costco, can I now port a number from other carrier to replace the number given at Costco? I think changing number should not affect the free line? Do I have to call/chat to do the porting and is there any charge for number changing or Tmobile assistant support charge for doing this? As I remember, there 's no charge in November when ported a number to replace a temp number, there was even an offer for $100 for porting a line. As I remember, I need to use the new port in number ( permanent number) for the A11 and $100 rebate, right? Any input is highly appreciated.
Unless otherwise you have a number with another carrier that you are looking to port-into TMO, I think, you can use the new number Costco provided you when you opened the line, to submit both the rebates (A11 and $100 Costco).

Only if you stop asking questions that no one without a working crystal ball or a DeLorean may be able to answer

Spitballing, but the pattern suggests anticipation of quarterly adds. If by a given date, quarterly adds look low, they spin a round of AAL freebies to briefly prime the pump. Last quarter, it must have looked dismal, so they ran a mid-late Nov, and a mid-late December promo. Makes one wonder why they didn't go more public with 1 rather than two, but judging by hold times...one can make a guess on that one too.

What's currently the best iPhone 12 pro deal if I am an AT&T customer looking to switch to T-Mobile? The last couple years I've taken advantage of the Costco deals but nothing is as good this year.

Thanks for the reply. Guess I will keep the temp number for now , as my port in number was with Tmobile less than 90 days, the number is currently with Visible, The reason I want to change the number is only because the number is easier to remember and closely related to my zip code.

Not sure how this turned into an algebra exam, but King Ultra did the calculations in his previous post.



What he didn't consider were the EIPs and kickback.
We should not count EIPs, Netflix or other cost in our Plan calculations, as those are not mandatory.
So, was I right about your Plan cost being $96 ?
and how many Lines out of 9 did you get KB for the $60 discount?

It won't, it happened before but T-Mobile fixed the loophole long time ago.
