This is live now.

This is a fast moving 2022 Holiday promotion, and most likely available only for today. if you qualify the only way to get this offer is to order either through a care channel, like Tmobile chat/tForce/retail store.
You will need to pay the $35.00 device connection fee + local taxes to place the order.

Promo Code: 2022 BYOD Line P1

I missed the first 2 or 3 free lines they offered once I became a customer. I jumped on all 4 free lines they offered during the pandemic. Went from 4 to 8 lines with no price increase.

From the linked article:

"Update: We now have confirmation that the offer will indeed happen. As shown in the image below sent to us here at The T-Mo Report, the offer will require the customer be on a Magenta biller (not Sprint) and have 2 or more (paid) lines. For reference, "Magenta Biller" means the account must be on the T-Mobile side, not that it has to be the Magenta plan (though that could still be a requirement, we don't know yet).

The offer is also BYOD only. This means it will not stack with device promos like past free lines did.

This new information also includes language about the 12 month term. Contrary to previous info, it seems customers can cancel lines after 12 months has passed. This is good news for those wanting to close out a paid line after a while."

Right now I've got 4 paid lines and 5 freebies. I'd be excited to grab a 6th free line, though it seems as if I will need to get rid of my watch/data line beforehand so that I'm not punished for a disconnect (I wonder if this, like previous deals, has a look-back restriction on downgrades?).

Good luck!
Jon

I am very happy to see that you are at 9 lines. I don't know why, but I was worried about 8 being some sort of issue. Apparently not!

I have 10 lines - at one point maxed out at 12… T-Mobile one plan I am.

But it was a headache from 8 lines to 9-12… just say T-Mobile had to re-rate account and it messed my account up for I don't know how many months for them to get it straight (lost some of my initial promotions)…

Awesome! Been waiting year and a half? for another FLOU.

There seems to be more rules than the 2020 & 2021 FLOU deals.
First the new $35 DCC charge, unavoidable for this so just deal.
Seems to be BYOD (or at least not stackable with new line phone deals)?

Seems you will have to contact T-Force etc. to ask if you are qualified this time. Don't mean just those on grandfathered old plans. Everyone this time. And I would probably check this time before just adding a line and waiting for the system to make it free, like in the past.

Needless to say, this deal will be a cluster of info, tips, chat transcript dissection, many "Mine's lower than yours" plan envy comments, etc. etc.

"T-Mobile Free Line on Us" is what those who have done this in the past are looking/searching/setting alerts for.

T-Mobile Chat - "Thank you for staying connected. The free line offer was just for eligible customers and as I can see here, your account don't qualify for that promotion.

But we can check for other promos here that you may want to apply for. Would you want to proceed?"

"It will just show up on the account if the customer is eligible. Also, this promotion isn't stackable to any other promotions. So if you have already a line promotion, that may be the reason why the account is not eligible.

Yes, I am referring to the promotion that is just launched today and will be on a very limited time only."

I tried to do this but CSR said I would lose the paid number. Has anyone figured out how to do this without losing old number?

To close out on the paid lines can we move those numbers to the free ones? Would they charge for it?

Oh, now that I've read your post I think the only way is to port out to a prepaid plan then port it back in over the free line.
