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

they said the way the 830 breaks down is $170 is a bill credit and the 660 is split across 24 months.
is there anyway to have the $170 apply to the phone and not the total bill? i ask because i split the bill with others and it would make it a lot easier if i could adjust the bill credit to the phone directly.
They are both bill credits. $170 is just given in advance
My bill went the same way. Drop nearly half from a over $100
With Insider Hookup and Kickback that works on all my lines I am currently only paying for cost of Netflix.
I think eventually they will fix that billing error. I hope they just leave my Kickback alone.
Now I am intrigued to do this add a line as people are saying once you get over 8 lines the bill gets reduced? Anyone upgrade to soc that allows more lines without major errors requiring hours to fix with tmobile reps?
1. Line is absolutely FREE. Does not include any additional monthly bill taxes.
2. iPhone SE promo is absolutely FREE. There is currently two offers for the SE, one of which is FREE and the other 50% off. Speak to a live agent and get it for FREE. If you purchase it with directly from the site, it will only reflect 50% off. The rep originally said it did not stack, but keep pressing. I litterally used slick deals and reddit as proof. Show the screen shots of users stacking both promos if needed. He eventually got it confirmed by whoever was above him.
3. Google Voice Port-In is allowed! I repeat, it is allowed.
All I had to pay was $30, which was the tax on the phone. I'll will have to pay $3 later to unlock number from GVoicr prior to porting. This will be done when the phone arrives.
I confirmed every single detail in the above and have everything in writing.
Good luck.

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)
Now I am intrigued to do this add a line as people are saying once you get over 8 lines the bill gets reduced? Anyone upgrade to soc that allows more lines without major errors requiring hours to fix with tmobile reps?
Last time I was chat with them to do the account change in real time. They assured me nothing will change and I will be getting a new line free. One minute later I receive text that all my lines promos have changed/dropped. I inform them. They seem embarrassed and baffled as how this could have happen and was very apologetic. I don't think they know what changes are made as the system will just spit out what it wants to after you hit upgrade.
If I were you I would take a screenshot of all you individual lines and promos they have before you talk to them.
First time seeing my this so completely confused for this
The rep waived me the $30 activation fee as well

1st step, you will need some form of a 20% discount promo which they call it a Hookup or F&F or whatever. Without the 20% code, you won't get it below $100.
2nd step, make sure you add your 2nd line in combination with a promo in the form of a "3rd line on us".
I have regular Magenta, pay $96 per month, 7 lines.
Line1: Paid (with autopay) = $70
Line2: Paid (with autopay) +$50 = $120 (apply Hookup/F&F 20% disc = $96/mo taxes all in)
Line3: Free (19 Dec 3rd Line On Us) +$0
Line4: Free 2020 LOU (June?)
Line5: Free 2020 LOU 2 (Sept)
Line6: Free 2020 LOU 3 (forgot)
Line7: Free 2020 LOU 4 (Dec)
Line8: This current promo - I think they may code it as 2021 LOU xx?. And, I haven't signed up just yet...
Line9: future date
Line10: future date
Line11: future date
Line12: Last one, max of 12 lines on regular Magenta.
The better part of playing this deal, is to "Stack" on top with Costco "trade-in" phone deal credits AND Costco cash cards for lines. When I did this, I ported in from AT&T and I stacked 3 "trade-ins" - old iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone 8 for 2 iPhone 11 Pros and a BYOD.
It's all about timing, and reading the fine print.
The people here are not bragging. It's just a difficult deal to play, and hard to explain it all in a few words....
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.
