Deal Details
Typically Military plans are excluded from the add-a-line promos for T-Mobile, however I got an email specifically targeting Military with this offer.

My guess is they are trying to get some positive publicity after the massive hack they just had.

A little late to the offers?

T-Mobile was giving away Oneplus 8Ts a few months back for most people if they add a line.

This isn't about the phone, but the add-a-line for $10. Typically the line add deals preclude military plans.

The deal I referenced included Military. $10/line PLUS a free OnePlus 8T over 24 months EIP.

Sorry you missed out on that GREAT deal. But, who knows, it could come back on the Z Fold (well, at least I can dream!)

Searching through that thread for the term "military" only gives one result, and that is someone asking a question about moving from another carrier:https://slickdeals.net/e/14726183-t-mobile-oneplus-8t-for-free-after-trade-in-24-mo-eip-or-add-a-new-line?p=144420794#post144420794
Could you point me to the info this includes military lines? I've been watching for a deal including them, and I if I missed one, I would like to know how to determine it in the future.

Dang, never got this email for my account as recently open military account. Hope they run this every once in a while as could use a $10 line vs $20 line.

I can't remember, but its always good to go through the motions on the T-Mobile site, up until the place order to see how much it'll cost.

I did that with the Z-Fold, and I could technically get a $200+tax phone by trading in the OnePlus 8T I got from my referenced post. Only thing is, I'll have to send them $500 (amount I owe), get $300 in trade.

Yes, military, 55+ etc. Plans are typically excluded for free lines (heck it's only $10) and free phones, etc. But, if it's something you need/want, just go through the motions and see if you qualify.

I just have an alert setup for "T-Mobile" so I'll see all new posts for them and decide.

The last thing I did with them was to trade in my Nokia 530 for a 5G Samsung A32, free after 24 months EIP. I believe the current deal is a OnePlus Nord vice the Samsung.

To add a line to the military plan is $10 so why would you need to wait for a deal?

It's $25/line: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-pho...ount-plans

Edit: For the first four lines, unsure what it is after that.

For Magenta Military not Magenta Max it is:
$55 + $25+$10+$10+$10+$10.
So the only bargain for monthly fee (not the phone offer) is if the offer would allow someone with just the first line on their account to add line #2 for $10 instead of the current $25.

As for the phone, I personally do not care for the monthly credit plan as it locks in the customer, but I fully recognize that for many folks the full purchase price is not always something you can do.

This is a nice mid-level 5G phone. I got mine for free from a Costco T-Mobile promo (paid sales tax of about $25). If Costco still carries them, I think they are $255 from the T-Mobile kiosk but locked to T-Mobile as is the phone in the offer.

This would mean that the 24 monthly credits would be worth between 11 and $12, and that is not much but if you plan to keep the service, it is surely just fine.

There are lots of the 24 monthly credit deals but not all of them are for a totally free phone at the end of two years, and not all them are for Military plans. So please shop around.

Is this the best deal to start a new service w TMobile? I'm a veteran, currently w Verizon. Wife is on AT&T. We're looking to get on a family plan together. Seems like there are offers to off existing contracts/phones. Not sure if it's best to just got to a TMobile store or if Costco would be just as good.

I would go the Costco route. They run promotion when you get two lines get 3rd free. If you bring your device $300 gift card per line up to 2 per promotion
