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

Oh and since it matters I left Verizon and I live in San Diego. And I have 12 lines on my account all for my business.

Also, as I found out, the "unlimited" data is not really unlimited when using device as a HOTSPOT - they cap it at 10GB even on $120 per month plan (2 lines). When called to see what happened (slow throughput), they insultingly offered $10 off for just one month (so $110 total). I lowered my service to prepaid $30 per month for two lines next day!
IF you don't have Internet at home, you can get T-Mobile's $60 per month unlimited & uncapped internet at 4G speed and use it with any device.
They do restrict it to your local area/address. Verizon has 200Mbit FiOS service for new customers for $40, which is unbeatable (super-low latency for gaming), so the T-Mobile "ISP" box cannot compete with that on price nor throughput.
I also have unlimited internet for $10 per month in my car for Netflix, Youtube, Spotify and live maps from Tesla and that's a really good deal (at&t is their network).
If I insert my voice plan sim into my tablet, the data speed is slower than the dial-up days.
They explained the only option was to purchase a data-only plan...
Did they need any info on your tablet? Because each time I was told it would have to be converted into an e-sim as well...
Thks

are you saying that after a year, you can drop one of the paid lines and still keep the free lines?
