Free line requires 2+ existing lines. New customers or existing customers with one line have different requirements. Does NOT stack with Costco or T-Mobile rebates.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/...free_line/
From Reddit:
Customers on an eligible plan (list below) with 2 or more paid voice lines can add another voice line for free via monthly bill credits. Business plans are included. Customers must not already be at their rate plan's maximum number of lines. Business customers must have less than 12 lines to qualify.
You must maintain all the lines you have now + the free one for 12 months to keep the free line credits. After that, you must maintain at least 2 paid lines + this free line to keep the bill credits.
This promo will actively take priority over the current Third Line Free promo. This means new accounts adding 3 lines or existing accounts with 1 line adding 2 lines will receive this promo, not third line free, meaning they will not stack unless you already had third line free to begin with.
The free line stacks with phone promos currently available, as well as Carrier Freedom/Keep and Switch/Zero Cost to Switch. It does not stack with Costco or T-Mobile rebate promos.
BOGO for T-Mobile ends 3/16 - https://slickdeals.net/f/14878039-t-mobile-2021-buy-one-get-one-voice-add-a-line-for-existing-customers-ymmw
20% Hookup - https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/..._17th_for/ - This is YMMV for targeted Home Internet & Connected Device customers.
From Reddit:
Starting March 17th the Insider Hookup will return for existing T-Mobile customers that have Home Internet or Connected Devices with no voice lines.
This promo will allow you to port in from your existing carrier and get 20% off all voice lines for the lifetime of the account.
To clarify: The only people eligible for this upcoming Insider Hookup are Existing T-Mobile customers that do NOT already have voice lines at all. You must have Home Internet from T-Mobile or a connected device like a tablet or hotspot, but you can not already have voice lines.

For anyone looking to buy a iPhone 8 for the trade-in requirement for Tmobile's iPhone 12, the following are the different sources ranked from best to worst. Keep in mind the phone carrier doesn't matter for the trade-in, so it can be unlocked, AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile, anything. Phone must not have water damage, cracked screen, anything that could be perceived as a cracked screen, password lock, or icloud lock. Small dents, scratches, screen burn, and weak batteries are okay.
:
Trademore - iPhone 8 starting at $159 [trademore.com] Folks in the Cricket iPhone SE thread been trading their iPhone SE's for $200 Paypal from Trademore, so we know they are legit. They are also the trade-in inspector one of the cell carriers (Verizon or AT&T), so doubt they will sell anything that doesn't pass inspection. They will probably be your safest bet to acquire a good quality trade-in. Shipping is included in the price. Swappa - iPhone 8 starting at $158 [swappa.com] Swappa's policy is no junk, so you are covered if you receive something you can't trade in. That said, since everyone is a third party, you get a wide variety of prices and conditions. I have received cracked screens before, but the seller took it back immediately. Still, this may cause you to lose this Tmobile promotion. Shipping is included in the price. Local (Craigslist, Offerup, etc) Your experience will vary, and the onus is on you to validate the phone is ready for trade-in. You might score with a great deal, or you might get ripped off. Only go this route if you know how to inspect phones or you need the phone the same day. eBay [ebay.com] You will have to read each listing very carefully, since there are listings for cracked, water damaged, icloud locked, or otherwise untradeable phones. Returns policies also vary by seller. Unless you score an amazing deal on ebay, Trademore or Swappa are safer options. |

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

You can also search for the IMEI online. Sometimes it will show from where it originated
In addition, I just received an email stating my account has been activated, referring to the new line. I just don't want to open the phone if I don't have to but still want to use the SIM card on a different phone.
The SIM in the mail is the activated one, and you can put that SIM in any compatible phone. You wouldn't need to open the phone that's getting shipped to you.
Or, Cricket at 4 for $100. With Cricket, you can pair it with a discounted phone on port-in, which you can use to trade when returning to T-Mobile. Timing is always an issue. There were many who made use of iPhone 7 ($0) / 8 ($50) / 8+ ($100-150) deals with Cricket last year, which were traded to T-Mo for iPhone 11 /12 deals.
AT&T offers $250 GC up to two lines / account for BYOD.
I was in a similar situation when Sprint's free service ended in June last year. Switched to Visible / Cricket, and spent enough time outside (3-4 months) to come back in as a new customer, and combined with Insider / Hookup discount and iPhone trade-in deals. The Visible rebates paid for the time I was out of Sprint / T-Mo. Started with 4-line (primary lines) Magenta plan at $112 and have added three free (secondary / kids) lines so far (Nov 20, Dec 20, Mar 21) - so now $112 for 7. I just missed one more free line that came when Hookup was offered last year, else I would have been at $96 for 7 now. Icing on the Nov 20 free line was the $200 Costco Card + $100 T-Mo port-in rebate. I will stay put for sometime with T-Mo and look for options when the EIP ends to rotate some paid lines.
With BYOD deals with other carriers, there are plenty of places to move around without breaking the bank.
Pls do keep us posted in case anyone finds a BYOD deals like Cricket you mentioned...!!!
Iphone 12 on US will continuously run and port in requirement will remove. New line required.

I added a line Sunday night on the site to make sure I didn't miss the promo, but I'm looking to upgrade my wife's phone (trade in of S9) and then either sell my S20 FE for $$$ and get a BOGO S21 5G and perhaps a S21+ or Ultra for me.
Any opinions? I was scouring the Costco sheet and it looks like the BOGO promo ended there on the 18th, so trying to figure the best way.
Also, looking for a phone number to port as well. Will pay via AGC, etc.
No matter where you initiated the free line, you could still do the $800 in bill credits on that new free line if you buy 2 phones. or do the trade in on single line (doesn't have to be the new line). But sounds like your best bet right now is grab a BOGO without trade (whether Costco if eligible or through TMO) and sell your phones on FB etc. I did this and got $475 net on my S20FE last weekend.
Also, Costco does not run or own the kiosk at the Warehouses. It leases the space to Wireless Advocates.

The SIM in the mail is the activated one, and you can put that SIM in any compatible phone. You wouldn't need to open the phone that's getting shipped to you.
For me, my line was ordered first and then phone later which had the SIM inside. So, now I have a spare.
I don't know they will keep running free line promo.

If you had added just the line without phone, you would have a SIM shipped out and the line gets activated within 24 hours after SIM ships.
If ordered with a device, you likely need the device to activate as SIM is inside.
Here is my sequence of events, which likely helped even without getting the ordered SIM:
3/17 - Free line added by phone support, SIM ordered.
3/18 - SIM shipped.
3/19 - Line activated and email confirmation received. LOU 6 showed up on Account.
3/20 - Port completed in-store over the new line activated on 3/19 replacing it, but iPhone 12 out of stock
3/21 - iPhone 12 activated (8+ trade in) with ported number using the SIM inside. Bill credit / trade-in shows up online in an hour after phone purchase.
3/23 - SIM from 3/17 order gets delivered.
