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

So for 9 lines (9th line free) it should be:
$310 - $40 (autopay discount) - $54 (Hook up Insider discount) - $30 X 3 for free lines = $126.
Looks like it definitely makes sense for me to get this free line. I'd prefer doing it at costco.
Is it safer to upgrade my plan to 9-12 Magenta first via chat or T-force before going to costco? I am not sure if costco kiosk rep can do this plan upgrade the right way. Probably s/he will have to call T-Mobile anyway to move my plan to a new bracket.
As I understand, I may have to chose between MAGENTA9 and MGNTA9. SDers' consensus seems to be that upgrading to a new Magenta with 5GB hotspot (MGNTA9?) is worth it. Am I getting it right? Thanks again!
BTW, even if the line is unlocked, it may not qualify for the port in since Google Voice is consider a landline. YMMV.

Your account number is your 10 digit GV phone number and your account PIN is your voicemail PIN code.
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.
Switching to MGNTA9: is it sort of automatic/default route in the T-Mobile system for current Magenta 1.0 upgrades? Meaning is it risky doing this upgrade at costco kiosk while opening a 9th line? Don't want to lose hookup and existing two free lines in transition.
