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 am planning to add a line at Costco to get $150. And then call T-Mobile to ask for making that line free. And also I would like to port friends Verizon number to this line and purchase iPhone 12 and trade iPhone 8 to receive $830 credit..
Please let me know if this can be done or risky???
Messaged T-force to see if they anticipate any problems with the 2021 Line on Us 6 promotion (which already shows up on my account) stacking with the $100 rebate. They already verified getting the SE with a rebate is no problem through Costco.

Need advice from you guys who are in 9-12 lines club. My situation:
Magenta1.0 (MAGENTA2) with 20% hookup, 8 lines:
Lines 1, 2: paid
Line 3: free, 2020 3rd line on us 3
Line 4: free, 2020 Line On Us 2
Lines 5, 6: paid, costco $300 byod deal
Line 7: paid, costco samsung bogo deal
Line 8: paid, costco iphone se deal
As of now, total is $160 ($96+4x$16). I tried to see what TMO would offer if I add a 9th line through my account. It offers me $30x9=$270 Magenta plan, not sure if MAGENTA9 or MGNTA9. Did not take it, lol.
My question: if I change to 9-12 line Magenta plan through chat or TF and manage to keep 20% hookup discount and 2 current free lines, and get new free line, what my new total may look like? Just a rough estimate would be fine (or PM would be appreciated). Thanks!
If it's a paid 9th line, your total will be $176. The 9th thru 12th lines are normally +$30 each but one of your existing free lines will automatically take over that $30 slot so your adding $20 - 20% hookup.
If you're looking at it online showing the $270 total, that doesn't include all of your discounts/free lines. $270 - $30 free 9th line - $20 free 8th line - $44 (20% hookup on remaining $220) = $176. Or it's $270 - $30 free 9th line - $20 free 8th line - $20 free 7th line - $40 (20% on remaining $200) = $160.
MAGENTA9 is the original Magenta 1.0 plan and MGNTA9 is the newly announced Magenta plan (5GB hotspot, 100GB priority data). Definitely switch to the new Magenta plan as your free lines and hookup transfer over; there's no downside to the switch.
