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

just thinking out loud and if any tmobile seniors and experts can advise and comment will be great.

i am on +55 original plan, 2 lines for $60/month all including.SOC is ONE60TIFM
it is a great plan, and i know all the free lines promotions would never be able to add on for m plan.

so i am wondering, if I tried, talk to any tforce experts, do you think someone would allow me to change my plan to one of those old plans like 2 for $100 all in with netflix including but 3rd line free and give me hookup 20% discount?
so it'll be $80 for 3 lines and will this plan available for future free lines promo?

if paying $20 more can get me 3 lines with netflix but also qualified for future free lines promo and can take advantage of free phones too, i dont think why not.

but question is that if this is even possible?

any thoughts? thank you in advance so much!

probably the issue is fixed. I did the B1G1 at Costco from 7 lines to 9 lines. All my Free line On Us promo carried over.
It's case by case. I also saw a lot of successful cases. But I'm not lucky.

I have just finished ordering iPhone 12 (1) with the free line which I added a few days ago, 2) trading in my iPhone XR, and (3) porting-in the Tracfone number from a cheapo HSN LG phone (Verizon network).

The rep I talked to yesterday told me that the Tracfone number did not qualify for the $830 off promo, but the T-force rep I had been communicating told me that it should because the system recognized it as a Verizon number.

The rep I talked to today wasn't sure about the number because Tracfone uses T-mobile as one of their carriers in addition to AT&T and Verizon. She told me it might not qualify for the promo.

I took a chance and went ahead with the process, and the Tracfone number was successfully ported (The phone's IMEI is the account number, which is required for the port in along with the pin code). She told me that it did not necessarily mean that the number was good for the promotion. The system would determine it automatically. I guess only the time will tell. I can at least get $415 for my XR which is not all that bad even if the port-in does not qualify.

I told the rep my phone # was coming from Google, then he asked me if it "Is it from the free google service?", can I tell them it is from GV? Does it still qualify for the promotion?

Placed order using app for iPhone 12 max pro with trade in (iPhone X) added a new line to magenta 9 line plan. The iPhone 12 max pro is back ordered until April. 😳

How do I do the port in when the new line hasn't been assigned a number yet or has been activated?

So to get the free iPhone. Need a number to port in (cricket att and some say gv)
Then you just call or chat and port in and get the free line and free iPhone?
You also need a eligible trade in.

You can just call them for the port-in. You should get the number relatively quickly in the system. The rep I talked to today told me that the port-in would need to be submitted within 14 days.

No need to add a line. That's the difference now since the previous deal needed to add a line + a trade in.
thanks. so can simply upgrade the current line to a new S21, if that's the case, that's even better than before, since we needed a trade in at the time.

I am heading over to Costco to add my free line with the $150 credit.

I want to follow that up with the Iphone 12 $830 credit promo and would prefer to trade in the old phone at Tmobile store (So there are no issues subsequently with the phone inspection) and port my visible phone number. Can anyone confirm if there would be any additional costs at the Tmobile store to do the trade in or if I can do this at Costco itself?

Trade-in is still needed now. Only benefit now is that we don't need to add a paid line like before.

When you do this, is the new line free? I'm a newbie. What is considered a "port in"? I thought that is only when you bring in a non -tmobile line?

This is the exact reply from T-force rep on Twitter T-mobile Help when I asked about the promotion requirement for port-in.

"For the port in, it is not available to port-in from T-Mobile Prepaid, Metro by T-Mobile, MVNOs using T-Mobile's network, Sprint, or numbers used with T-Mobile service in the last 90 days, and is not available to free Google voice subscribers."

To do this in Tmobile store, they charge you $20 assistant fee and $10 sim, you can not do this at Costco.
