So I signed up for 2 lines but didn't have my port info so I need to port numbers in separately. The paperwork for the $300 rebate has the old number and I submitted it with that. If I then port my old number into the line, will the rebate not go through because the phone number changed? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

For new customers I think it's either 3rd line free or BOGO. As per Jman100 on his T-mo.report.

https://tmo.report/2021/08/bogo-a...es-50-off/

Best bet is that after you got your 3 lines, the current BOGO that started August 13 would end, and a new one or 50% promo or an actual free AAL would start. . .then you could grab that. i.e. to have 3rd line free and get bonus line the promo has to start AFTER you are a current customer with 3 lines.
Thanks and repped.

I opened an account with 2 lines today but didn't port my numbers in yet. If I port numbers in after submitting for the $300 rebates under the original numbers, will that mess up the rebates?

That's not normally an issue with TMO. . .as they give you temp #'s knowing you will port your real # over it when you activate your new phone or sim after delivery.

Problem is, the $300 BYOD's are Costco (wireless advocates) deals, not TMO, and I don't think they can track the change of phone #'s.

These $300 BYOD are off and on all the time. Try looking up some of the larger $300 BYOD Costco T-Mobile threads. . .should be covered there for sure. Perhaps even one of the Free line mega threads from last year. . .some of those mega threads have all aspects covered. . .and it was a mess of people trying to get a free line, do Costco BYOD, then get a new phone line deal on top. . .

I combined this offer and 720$ BOGO for iphone 13. Got them for very cheap with this offer.

existing tmobile so upgraded one line amd added one new line to get two iphone 13 with 720$ rebate.

then added two more lines (BOGO on lines if you are on magenta) so eligible for. 300$ * 2 costco cards.

i paid around 1550$(with taxes) for two iphones and you get total 1320$ rebate so 230$ for two iphone 13

you need to pay tmobile for two lines and keep it till you get all rebates
Did you already get the rebates? I was told by the costco rep the other day that you cannot stack $300 BYOD offer with BOGO

You quoted someone doing both BOGO lines, and BOGO phones, separately and on different lines. If you are asking about stacking BYOD $300 with BOGO lines, absolutely yes. BOGO lines is automatic from TMO if your plan qualifes. . .and you will still get the $300 BYOD rebate forms from the kiosk rep to send to Costco (wireless advocates) rebate site, even if the rep isn't aware of the BOGO lines deal which started in August. Just make sure they give you the $300 BYOD rebate forms.

To be safe, you might reach out to chat T-Force to make sure your plan qualifies for BOGO lines right now, before going to Costco. If you started TMO after August 12, you might not qualify for this round of BOGO lines because that promo would have already been active when you started service and that same promo is still active now. And if you have the newest version of TMO insider hookup that started this summer, also a negatory. . .

Also, a firm NO if you meant BOGO Phones and $300 BYOD's on the same lines.

Does anyone know if $20 unlimited talk/text and no data plan will work for this?
It does work. It took a little over 10 weeks for it to be mailed.

Here's what I learned after doing this same BYOD deal with a BOGO free line back in March(?) of this year:

It takes one YEAR before you can drop the paid line, but you can keep the free line when you do. Sounds easy, right?

If you are a "deal" loving person, there is a catch.

All "new line" promotions you sign up for AFTER this one will include the same provision that you maintain the same number of lines for a year. No biggie, but they OVERLAP. I'm waiting for my 1 year in March '22 so I can cancel my paid line from that March '21 BOGO. However, theoretically, if TMO offers a line-on-us or some similar deal during December '21, and I take it, THAT new line also has it's own requirement to maintain the same number of lines as I had the moment I took it. Otherwise, I lose the that December '21 line. So March '22 will come around, and I can finally cancel the old March '21 paid line. But canceling that paid line means my total line count dropped by 1, which means I violated the "same number of lines" requirement for the DECEMBER deal, which is now short a line from when it started. I'm not sure if they take the December one away, or add a paid line.

Sorry I can't explain this more clearly.

My plan is simply to never do a BOGO if my intention is to later cancel the paid half.

If you are porting in, or already need to add lines, you probably don't have to worry about what I've said.
so are you saying don't combine the bogo with the $300 offer? For the $300 we just need to keep the line until the rebate, the same for the bogo. But if we combine the two it won;'t work?

Nice. There should be a way to calculate the extra we pay for Unlimited over the two years.

Is there a minumum plan needed? Will the 55+ do?
How long do I have to keep the plan to qualify?

TMobile is easily the cheapest service, but it also has sketchy coverage around here. I would mind testing it out for a $300 rebate, but not for a long time in case it is terrible.
