TMO doesn't want people doing what you're wanting to do.
To accomplish it, you would need to:
1. Add free line.
2. Wait a year + one day.
3. Port out paid line to another carrier.
4. Keep paid line active on another carrier for 90 days (to preserve number).
5. Port old number back in on free line.
This whole process has taken you 1.25 years.
I have 2 of my free lines in a iPad and a Samsung S4 tablet, with UNLIMITED data.
You have to call them and tell them you want to use the line (promo line) in a tablet but don't want to lose the promotion and you don't want to open a new line for this.
What they did for me, was block the phone service on the line and kept the messaging and data. That way I am able to use it in my tablet.
Every summer my daughter comes and visit from Germany. I take one of the sim card out of my tablet and put it in her phone..
I call T-Mobile and have them unblock the phone service. That way, my daughter has a phone while she is here in country.
When she leaves I call them back and get it blocked again. I have been doing this for close to 5 years. So I know for a fact it works.
Tomorrow I will be calling to try and get another free line.. (Fingers Crossed)
Hope this helps

1. There is no free lunch - you still have to pay any taxes and fees imposed by your state. My "free" lines each come out to about $5 a month. TMobile doesn't explicitly charge for these lines otherwise as far as I can tell.
2. If you add the line manually through the web portal, you may be opted in to data on the line. In my case, I'm grandfathered in on a Simple Choice plan that has no free data tier currently available.
I got opted in (with NO prompt / confirmation) to a $15 / month data plan that I also could not manually change. I had to call TMobile support to alter it. That charge also showed up on my bill as a pro rated amount for the time between adding the line and before getting support to fix it. (I was able to get partially reimbursed by 1 CS rep)
In my case, I was able to get my free lines set to a 2.5 gb / month free data plan. That was the original default for my plan, but my other lines all were upgraded to 4 gb / month as part of an older promotion. Since that promotion is no longer available, 2.5 gb was all they could offer. That part is free though.
TL;DR - your monthly bill WILL increase. Expect to get help from TMobile support.

Even with Magenta we ran into issues last year when we signed up for Hookup where they messed up the trade in discounts for two of the four lines. So, one should consider themselves very lucky if all goes well. There is something or the other bound to go wrong, but eventually gets sorted out.

One more question: Am I able to change my paid line from the Costco deal to a watch line to keep that bogo line?
