If you remove any paid lines within the first year, the free line loses the promo and becomes paid.

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.
My port-in was initiated during T439 promo period and completed today outside of the promo period. Without the port in (with only the added line and traded-in) I was on a bad promo. Once the port-in completed today, the system auto updated to T439 promo in my account --> promotions. Therefore, I don't think it was a requirement the port-ins must be completed by 3/24 EOB, just as long as they are initiated.
YES, you can use this sim in your iPad. I pay for 2 lines and have 3 free lines on promotion (5 lines total)
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

That is the promo deal stacking with the free line.

$830 credit if you trade in a iPhone 8, it must be a new line and must be a port-in line from a different carrier (att, verzion, etc).

Figured as much. I was looking at all the promos and didn't see one that didn't require a port in. Didn't know if I missed something.

First, I am not that guy who said he has $100 for 6 lines but this is how it works:

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....
The magenta plan you mentioned is a crap plan not exact language because it offers only 5GB of hotspot data. The devil is in the detail. what exactly is your plan?
I seee that those thta have many free lines started with very bad plan. not surprised they can take advantage of free lines cos the plan itself is not good like other plans.
The rep offered 4 lines unlimited everything with 10gb hotspot, free us canada mexico 4g, unlimited data test and data 4 lines for $120 tax included but i declined that offer. I am on tmobile one all in promo everyhting unlimited $100 a month and 3 lines.

I already have a few of the Ting sim cards I picked up from Target/Best Buy for $1 each. Currently sitting on one that is on activated on the Verizon network that is 10 days from being cancelled. Looks like it's coming to TMo.

You can port in google voice, but you might not get the credit for free iPhone SE
Hopefully, everything works out since I have SS of TForce saying that it will be okay. Worst-case, I return the phone.

what is "Contact T-force and have them switch to a 9-12 plan on One. They did that for me last time and added the free line. My plan was switched from FRLTULF2 to TIULFM9. Alternate plan on One: FRLTULFM9."?
i contact tforce and tmo twitter team and speka to US rep and their US supervisor but they tell me they can't do anything to me. I am 18 years customer.

Everyone is boasting, bragging about how many "free lines" they have added with these free add a line promo for existing customers but not saying what exactly their plan is or how much they are paying. Some say they have so far added 4 free lines with these promos. One guy said he now has 6 lines for $100. is this true?

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.
I am on "T-Mobile One" plan and so far I have always been "eligible" for these free lines or BOGO lines (you get 2 lines for $30/month) !
I have 11 lines with monthly bill 180 (including taxes). I do pay another $47 for the iPhones I have bought on DPP last year and another $7 for the Netflix (my plan is 4K UHD so I have pay the difference between the basic plan T-Mo gives and the 4K plan).
With today's addition of another free line (which I just did), my family is now officially full with 12 lines and the bill should stay the same i.e. 180/month (including taxes)!
I don't have any other crazy corporate discounts or hookup or any of that sort.
I started my family with 5 lines 2 Y ago and gradually kept adding more lines as and when there were promos like BOGO lines or Line on US etc.

He will be at $96 for 8 lines magenta or $112 for 8 lines Max and 40gb hotspot per line

And do You do realize that once the guy you replied to adds this promo, and one more line, even a paid line, and switches to magenta 9 line his monthly bill will be only $66 for all those 9 lines. . or $88 if he chooses to upgrade to Max an 40gb hotspot per line?
idon't know how much time you spend in mexico or canada. . .but for me last 10 years average only 2 days or s a year. i would rather bank $56 a month more and have the extra lines to save my folks $70 every month plus my single brother $56 a month.

I have just added the BOGO line at costco two days ago for the $600 rebate. I plan to add this new line and get free Iphone 12. I should be able to cancel the BOGO paid line/ free line after a year from adding this new line without loosing this new line, right? For the port in number, can I just buy one of the verizon number for porting on ebay? I currently use the samsung A71 5G on one one of the Tmobile line and plan to trade that in, would it work or I have to use a phone that is not on Tmobile network?

Thanks,
With regards to being able to cancel the lines that are part of the BOGO, it is my understanding that you can cancel them after a year and retain this new free line. That is what I am planning on doing.

For the port, I am pretty sure you can just get a Verizon number from eBay. I am not doing that this time, but I have done that in the past. No issues except that one seller took a few days.

I have 8 lines now. What happens if I upgrade my T-Mobile One account to a T-mobile One SOC for 9-12 lines by adding this free line, but in the future decide to cancel a line and it drops me back to 8 lines? Does it roll back to my old T-Mobile SOC, or will they automatically enroll me into a Magenta Plan?

I have magenta also. Is it capped at 8 lines? How does the monthly go down after switching to magenta 9 line? This is my 6th line on magenta and would definitely be interested in the future if it lowers my monthly bill. Tia.

I have seen people mention that prices go down when you get to 9 lines. How does that work? I'm at 8 lines now (4 paid and 4 free). I was planning on cancelling a BOGO pair in a year to reduce the overall price as I don't need those lines. As part of that plan, I was not planning on taking advantage of any future AAL offers until 2022, but if the price will go down if/when I add a 9th line, I would reconsider.

I'm expecting that my price would remain the same ($128 for the 4 paid lines with the Insider discount) if I add a future free line as the 9th line. Is that not the case? Or is the pricing that different with the MAGENTA9 SOC?

Can you provide the freedompop port out procedure?
Just a quick heads up about FreedomPop port-in !
I have been told twice by the T-Force people that FreedomPop is not eligible since it uses both AT&T and Sprint (which is T-Mo family) which makes it ineligible for port-in promo !
I have 2 FreedomPop #s so wanted to port those in !
