⚠️ You are limited to one promotional bill credit at a time per line ⚠️ If the line already has promotional bill credits from old promotions you will lose those credits. You MUST pay off the device to move the credits over to the account level to sign up for new Recurring device credits on that line. THIS WORDING IS DIRECTLY FROM T-MOBILE'S website support page for RDC Recurring device credits also known as promotional bill credits. So DO NOT DO THIS ON A LINE THAT HAS BILL CREDITS ATTACHED TO IT.Tips for getting the free device
" You may have one Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo per line at a time. To get a new Recurring Device Credits (RDC) promo and keep your current credit, you must pay off the existing EIP first.
If you pay off your EIP early, you'll continue to receive the promised Recurring Device Credits (RDC) as an account-level credit through the remaining months of the promotional credit period (up to 24 or 36 months)."

Presumably the only reason the LG is on this list is because they've abandoned the Android market. Otherwise, it does not belong in the category of free phone and will surely go out of stock VERY quickly after this deal goes live. The other freebie Samsung phones are somewhere between cruel jokes and OK as a dummy device to run your remote control app.

1. Enter your number below to see if it can be transferred to T-Mobile.
2. I want a new number
Neither of these options apply to me. I already have a T-Mobile number and I'm not adding a line. I had to call 1-800-937-8997 to talk to an expert to get my order placed properly. I just got confirmation that my order for a LG Velvet 5G went through. Total cost = $37.51 for tax and shipping.

Last time I talked to T-Moble Rep at the store during mothers day iphone 12 promo, he told me website/app will let you order as many device on the single line but on the backend it will only allow one EIP credit. I had multiple old iphones and wanted to do $830 iphone 12 deal. He said it wont work and you will end up paying the extra devices per month. so I backed out.
only way to verify to actually do it and wait for it to show up under My Promotion page.
Post the screen show in a day or two when it get process.
For free, this is a no-brainer.
