Why T-Mobile stock is up 70%
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wh...05212.html [yahoo.com]

T-Mobile said Thursday evening it delivered a record 5.5 million net postpaid phone additions in 2020. A total of 1.6 million of those additions came in the fourth quarter ...

Always about the q4 #s in this market if you're not up you're taking the the jump without the chute...TMUS cannot have that neither can we. Pretty easy to add 1.6MM when you are giving it away
LOL !! @ "5.5 million net postpaid phone additions" .
An earlier release I saw they talked about 5.5 million New Customers.

I guess they fixed that very quick as "New Line =/= New Customer"

I added a 3rd line on T-Mobile ONE Unlimited 55+ ($70/2 lines) calling t -mobile. (see my other post). https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=144227348&postcount=3593
Maybe it does not work on the Magenta 55+ or ($60/2 lines) plan.

I don't have the Magenta plan. I have the One Unlimited 55+ plan for $60 (got in March 2018 right before they raised it to $70).

I believe my SOC code is ONE60TIFM which I don't see on the sheet. Thro - what is your SOC code?

My SOC code: ONE55TIB
I never seen the promo on my account even though they said (multiple calls) it will be on my next bill. Well... my bill is here and my bill went up. I called and said I don't qualify for a free line, credited my account and gave me an extra $10 for the error. ehh

Yeah, saw that as well. Wonder what kind of dent in lines were done by SD'ers and those on Reddit etc. Perhaps if they offered BYOD (i.e. not Get 4 iphones on us) new accounts free 3rd plus 4th lines during these FLOU promos. . .and actually put it up on their site. . .?

The vagueness is wonderful. At least it's not saying we lost a line...

The more I think of this, the more Im convinced they needed to figure out what % of customers are connected to these sites and how to advertise for future without spending $$ on ads.

I would agree that this might have been a fishing (for info) experiment. . .but I'm guessing less than 1% of TMO subscribers saw this on SD, reddit, etc. So it couldn't have been solely to pad lines without incurring ad costs, as they could have just texted current customers the offer for basically no cost to them. Even if there was "word of mouth" from threads such as this one, it's still below 5% in the end. More likely still below 1% net.

I worry more about the "reverse intel effect" of them taking those that partook, and not offering them the next great current customer phone deal like ATT does, but targeted to all those EXCEPT those those few that have grabbed the free lines. Or that they decided to try and hold those of us that subscribe to SD and reddit by giving them lines, so that they couldn't ditch, for at least 1 year past last free line addition, like us dealhunters might otherwise before +1 year. OR that we don't want to do an AAL phone deal because we're maxed, and staying regardless and don't want to lose the free line(s) associated, and can't otherwise take advantage of the next "free" iphone etc. deal.

In any case it's a cluster puck, similar to Sprint the few years before they were absorbed.

Ha, yeah I'm more worried about me running out of space to add more lines than anything else. . .but as they tighten the ship on FLOU phone deals, I've gone back to trying to get deals straight from Sammy. Which is fine

Come on TMUS, it's 2021... Let's pump-up Q1 and start the new year right with the first free line offer of the year... Big Grin

Thanks for sharing..
Any one had luck adding these on? Any strategy to follow?
I asked at least 2-3 times over the last 2 years or so to add the insider hookup but no success yet. The reps I got all claimed they could not do it.
