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

I had SOC code FRLTULMF2, already maxed to eight lines (six paid, two free from AAL 3/4).
Attempt 1 w/ Twitter 3/16 - total no-go. Wanted me to move to Magenta.
Attempt 2 w/ Twitter 3/17 - Said they could do it, but the wait time between responses was glacially slow.
Attempt 3 w/ phone call 3/17 - success! The rep had to get her senior expert to do it, but she had no issue doing whatever was required to make things work. Got moved to FRLTULMF9.
Confirmed the SOC code change happened instantly. However, I have to wait a week for the sim card to get here. The eSIM in the Pixel 3a wont work (but for some reason works with the 4a)
Point is, I'll take a 0% over 24 months on a device over a 2 year commitment with cancellation penalty any day, and the two are not in the same ballpark.
I am curious however about how it is not a financial hit if you pay off the rest of the phone at once and leave to a new carrier?
I guess maybe if there is only a few monthly credits remaining out of 24, that would not be a huge hit. Otherwise, how is it not? What am I missing?
Worth a shot I think. The worst case is you won't get the $150 rebate card but the line surely stay free !
BTW, where is it mentioned that it can't be combined? On the Costco offer page right? Not on the T-Mo promo page correct?

BTW- SE doesn't require trade-in, however you have to port-in non TM/GV number.

T-Force told me the same thing, Boost is not allowed since it uses T-Mo network.
