Free line requires 2+ existing lines. New customers or existing customers with one line have different requirements. Does NOT stack with Costco or T-Mobile rebates.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...free_line/

From Reddit:
Customers on an eligible plan (list below) with 2 or more paid voice lines can add another voice line for free via monthly bill credits. Business plans are included. Customers must not already be at their rate plan's maximum number of lines. Business customers must have less than 12 lines to qualify.

You must maintain all the lines you have now + the free one for 12 months to keep the free line credits. After that, you must maintain at least 2 paid lines + this free line to keep the bill credits.

This promo will actively take priority over the current Third Line Free promo. This means new accounts adding 3 lines or existing accounts with 1 line adding 2 lines will receive this promo, not third line free, meaning they will not stack unless you already had third line free to begin with.

The free line stacks with phone promos currently available, as well as Carrier Freedom/Keep and Switch/Zero Cost to Switch. It does not stack with Costco or T-Mobile rebate promos.

BOGO for T-Mobile ends 3/16 - https://slickdeals.net/f/14878039-t-mobile-2021-buy-one-get-one-voice-add-a-line-for-existing-customers-ymmw

20% Hookup - https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/..._17th_for/ - This is YMMV for targeted Home Internet & Connected Device customers.

From Reddit:
Starting March 17th the Insider Hookup will return for existing T-Mobile customers that have Home Internet or Connected Devices with no voice lines.

This promo will allow you to port in from your existing carrier and get 20% off all voice lines for the lifetime of the account.

To clarify: The only people eligible for this upcoming Insider Hookup are Existing T-Mobile customers that do NOT already have voice lines at all. You must have Home Internet from T-Mobile or a connected device like a tablet or hotspot, but you can not already have voice lines.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY FOR THIS PROMO AS WELL AS THE IPHONE PROMOS.
If you are using a phone promo on the free line that requires a port in, you MUST complete the port in by end of day TODAY, March 23rd.

--------

T-Mobile has updated the SOC list again to revert it back to an earlier version. It now includes more SOCs. The SOC image in the main post has been updated. -- Jman100

--------

To find your SOC code for your rate plan, you can call CS 611 and ask, or figure it out yourself:
  1. Install the Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstor...ldjhocmmpl
  2. Add the Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/...mo-helper/
  3. Go old school and sift through the web code: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...soc_codes/
Maximum (Voice) Lines per SOC code:
SCFUTTBD: 10 lines

Quote from ouloat :
For anyone looking to buy a iPhone 8 for the trade-in requirement for Tmobile's iPhone 12, the following are the different sources ranked from best to worst. Keep in mind the phone carrier doesn't matter for the trade-in, so it can be unlocked, AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile, anything. Phone must not have water damage, cracked screen, anything that could be perceived as a cracked screen, password lock, or icloud lock. Small dents, scratches, screen burn, and weak batteries are okay.

Trademore - iPhone 8 starting at $159 [trademore.com]
Folks in the Cricket iPhone SE thread been trading their iPhone SE's for $200 Paypal from Trademore, so we know they are legit. They are also the trade-in inspector one of the cell carriers (Verizon or AT&T), so doubt they will sell anything that doesn't pass inspection. They will probably be your safest bet to acquire a good quality trade-in. Shipping is included in the price.

Swappa - iPhone 8 starting at $158 [swappa.com]
Swappa's policy is no junk, so you are covered if you receive something you can't trade in. That said, since everyone is a third party, you get a wide variety of prices and conditions. I have received cracked screens before, but the seller took it back immediately. Still, this may cause you to lose this Tmobile promotion. Shipping is included in the price.

Local (Craigslist, Offerup, etc)
Your experience will vary, and the onus is on you to validate the phone is ready for trade-in. You might score with a great deal, or you might get ripped off. Only go this route if you know how to inspect phones or you need the phone the same day.

eBay [ebay.com]
You will have to read each listing very carefully, since there are listings for cracked, water damaged, icloud locked, or otherwise untradeable phones. Returns policies also vary by seller. Unless you score an amazing deal on ebay, Trademore or Swappa are safer options.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

If you remove any paid lines within the first year, the free line loses the promo and becomes paid.

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. Peace
My port-in was initiated during T439 promo period and completed today outside of the promo period. Without the port in (with only the added line and traded-in) I was on a bad promo. Once the port-in completed today, the system auto updated to T439 promo in my account --> promotions. Therefore, I don't think it was a requirement the port-ins must be completed by 3/24 EOB, just as long as they are initiated.
YES, you can use this sim in your iPad. I pay for 2 lines and have 3 free lines on promotion (5 lines total)
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

This is highly unusual. Customers should not count on this working regularly.
Quote from natewhtie :
So if I have 4 lines on my eligible plan, if I add free lines now, pay the taxes and stuff for 1 year then can I cancel the paid lines and move the existing 'paid' numbers over to the free lines, therefore only having to pay for 2/4 lines on the account?
You wouldn't be able to move the numbers.

Currently at 8 lines with Magenta, two from the T-Mobile Costco $300 GC per line deal. Can I get a 9th line for free? I heard max for a family plan is 10 or 12 lines, so just wanted to check.

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

They have free lines from the many previous free line offers; they're not getting multiple free lines from this offer.

You need to know your SOC (rate plan code). It would be easier if you called CS and clarified it.

You get one free line per promo period. But, this promo came thrice last year.

Quote from Jman100 :
This is generally true for older plans that don't include taxes. Tax-included plans like ONE and magenta the lines are completely free.
I have their first plan that was "2 lines for $100.. This was before they included taxes in the $100 and free Netflix.. I tried multiple times to switch to a plan that included the taxes, but they said that if I change I would lose my free lines.. which was 2 promo lines at the time.. now I have 3 promo lines..

the reddit post links a way to find your own SOC

Nope, only the voice lines get the promo.

no, if you close a line in the last 30 days you would need to reopen it before getting the free line

I use 2 free lines on 2 tablets and I get Unlimited LTE.. just tell them you want to use the free line in a tablet.. they just block the voice service on that line and it works in my tablet..
my free line is already unlimited everything.. So I get unlimited data on my tablet.. as long as they don't turn it into a tablet line it should work..
