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 even got the $100 rebate recently from the subsequent Free line + BYOD without any issues and I still have both the lines free !!!
I am not sure why so many are thinking it's a big risk of denial ! If it all it gets denied, it will be the $150 rebate which will get denied (but there is no risk in trying right)?
Once the line is added as free, why will they make it a "paid" line later on?

You have to be lucky to get a rep to make that switch, but keep trying with different reps - Twitter and Facebook.

So, I went to a store, opened a new line, traded-in an Iphone XR, and ported a number from freedompop. The port-in took a while. Meanwhile they assigned a temporary number, completed the trade-in process and initiated the port-in.
Initially, the 2021 Apple trade P1 - T510 applied to my account.
The port-in took a few hours as they had to manually call in for transfer at freedompop.
I just received a message that 2021 Apple Switch trade P1 - T439 had been applied to my account.
When I checked my account just now, both the line promo and the correct phone promos were applied.
In my situation, I am stuck with a grand fathered promo called TMO ONE ALL IN PROMO and it is 3 lines total for $100 including kickback, tax and fees. I am never eligible for any free add a line promo even after talking to supervisors and the only plan they can switch me to meganta max plan 4 lines for $180.
Looking line by line, I see kickback is still on the six usual lines, as is One Plus Promo.
The 9th line doesn't show yet bexause the sim has not shipped. When it does arrive, I plan to call them to do the iPhone SE deal and port in a number from Ooma.
Here's my cost breakdown for those who would find it helpful.
$120 - cost for first two lines. Fixed to the plan.
$80 - cost for next four additional lines.
$0 - last two lines from AAL promos in 2020
$20 discount (BOGO from 2017)
$7 - Netflix
$0.75 - pixel 4a5g EIP
So normal charge is $167.75. Typically five of the lines get kickback discount.. So that knocks it down to $142.75. (it's only $5 off for one of the lines because it doesn't stack perfectly with the BOGO)

Question:
If I am eligible, Is it possible I can add one more free line and later cancel one of my old paid lines. That way I will have 4 paid and 3 free lines.
