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

1) You port out 123-1234 paid line to Google Voice. 123-1234 is automatically cancelled by T-mobile.You now have 2 paid lines, 2 free lines on T-Mobile, and 123-1234 on Google Voice.
2) After a couple months on Google Voice, you port out from Google Voice into T-mobile. You tell the rep which line you want to port in to. That line is one of the free lines. Google automatically cancels 123-1234 once port out is complete. Now you have 2 paid lines, 2 free lines on T-mobile. 123-1234 is a free line.
Line 1 & 2: Paid
Line 3: Free (3rd line free promo from before)
Line 4 to 6: Free (free line promos in 2020)
Line 7: Paid (recent costco $300 deal for byod)
Line 8: Free (buy one get one with the costco deal)
I do plan to cancel lines 7 and 8 once I receive the costco shop card. Is it worth adding this new free line? Will it affect my ability to cancel line 7 and 8? I am hoping none of these affect my discounts on lines 1 to 6.

how much of a difference if changing select choice plan to simple choice? i think those 2 are the closest to each other in terms of pricing.
For those with SOC code MGNTA2, how much are you paying with 20% insider discount?
I added 3 more free lines last year. So total 8 lines for $128.
I will add the 9th line tomorrow and hope/pray I don't go through the same things like you did.
