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

So my questions are:
UPDATE 1: After chatting with a rep, it appears the SOC code for the new Magenta plan is "MGNTA2". Others have pointed out that it may also be "MGNTA9" if you have at least 9 lines.
UPDATE 2: I went ahead and upgraded my Magenta 1.0 plan to Magenta via 611 chat. The rep I spoke with confirmed that it is only beneficial to upgrade the plan. 5GB of hotspot vs 3GB, and 100GB of priority data vs 50GB, all for the same price, and all of my current promos will transfer over. The T-Mobile website briefly mentions this upgrade and states that "at T-Mobile, only you have the power to change your plan!", so this is why it wasn't upgraded automatically. So I encourage everyone with Magenta 1.0 (i.e. Magenta activated before 2/24/21) to do the same after confirming with a rep that your current price/promos will not change (do it via chat and take screenshots, and double-check your next few bills to confirm).
UPDATE 3: For those who are considering upgrading from Magenta 1.0, I suggest waiting till after the current Line On Us promo is finished (as in take advantage of the current promo first, and then wait till next week to do the plan upgrade). I lost a couple previous Line On Us promos when my plan was upgraded, and it has admittedly been a real pain to try to get them added back through CS. I've been assured that they will get added back eventually, but 2 different reps have had to escalate 2 different tickets. One was added back already, but I'm still waiting on the other one. I suggest that before making any plan changes, sign into your T-Mobile account online (not on the app), go to your cost details [t-mobile.com], and take a screenshot of all your current discounts and promos (it will show Line On Us promos, Insider Hook Up discount, autopay discounts, etc.). Then after you switch your plan, take a look at the promos again and make sure they're all there. This is how I noticed I had missing promos. Not a bad idea to checkout your account history [t-mobile.com] as well.
So really the line total for the year would be $44.28. There definitely is a cost associated with doing this. I'm debating whether to do this deal and pay that cost each month if I'm not utilizing it. My kids are 4 and 2 and anther one the way. We have no use or plans in the foreseeable future with free line we have now so I'm thinking may need to pass. Yes, T-mobile may stop doing this in the future and locking in a "free" line now would be good. But yeah.... guess take my chances not getting another now.
