THIS PROMO (2022 BYOD Line P1) HAS ENDED

There is a new promo BOGO free line promo, ask your T-Mobile Customer Rep about "2023 Line P1" where you buy a line you get one free.

If you are still not showing correct promo give them the details to add correct promo:

Tell them the name (2022 BYOD Line P1), promo code (sp011)and if needed c2 doc (77abc)for reference to find this promo hope it helps
.


Promo ID is 2022 BYOD Line P1. It seems this promo is limited to certain accounts randomly selected by T-Mobile.

Here's everything we know so far:
  • Eligibility requirements are pretty much unknown. To check for elegibility the Customer Service rep has to bring up your account, go to your account profile menu, and under there it will list the promos applicable for your account. If your account was one of the lucky ones selected they will see HolidayUnwrapped promo for a free line memo under that menu. At this moment only T-mobile Customer Service can check if this promo shows up on your account's profile, no way to self check.
  • Accounts must be checked for what is essentially a "memo" on the account indicating eligibility. Eligibility seems to be targeted to certain accounts and not simply by plan.
  • Promotion ends December 19th.
  • Cannot stack phone promotions on this free line. It's BYOD only, thus no future Trade-in or phone upgrade promos on this free line.
  • You cannot cancel any lines once adding this free line for 12 months.
  • DCC fee of $35 will be charged. Unless you do the Self-Service add a device or line BYOD esim option under My Account on your own, after confirming you are eligible.
  • It appears any postpaid plan could be eligible, not just Magenta plans.
  • Promo name on account will be 2022 BYOD Line P1 and is also known as #HolidayUnwrapped.
  • Wait times with support are long, including T-Force. Please only send one message and be patient. It could be up to 5 hours or more before you get a response. You can go to a T-mobile Corporate store and asked them to check for the memo on your account for this promo.
  • You can use an esim to activate the line.
  • Onces you are confirmed that your account is eligible for the promo, you can order by yourself online. The promo will automatically be applied to your account within 7 days.
  • The system is still applying the promo memo to some accounts, if you were told not eligible today, try again before the 19.
  • Some plans have a max number of lines, if your account has reached that limit, even if you are elegible for the promo you might not be able to add the free line. Workaround to this is to move to a different plan.
  • Good luck to everyone.

So far confirmed the following plans are compatible:
  • Simple Choice Plans
  • Magenta Max
  • Magenta Plus
  • Amp
  • T-Mobile One
No promo terms available yet. Screenshot below shows the Promo ID that shows up on your online account line details.

Requires paying one time DCC $35 fee (assited support). Unless you do the Self-Service add a device or line under My Account - BYOD esim option on your own, after confirming you are eligible.

55+ plans are not eligible, adding eSIM doesn't work either: no promotion shows up after self-service checkout, and your plan simply increases by $30-35. You will be charged for one day of service even if you cancel on the same day (this charge can be potentially removed via CS).

No go for 55+. Called.
Does this works if I am grandfathered from sprint ?

edit:

"the offer will require the customer be on a Magenta biller (not Sprint) and have 2 or more (paid) lines. For reference, "Magenta Biller"
No go for Tmobile ONE 9-12 lines (for me)

Still check with a few agents if you have time to spare. My exact plan might not be the reason why I'm not eligible.

UPDATE: T-Mobile App Chat said I was eligible and added a line for me. The BYOD promotion shows up on the Plan Details and Service Promos pages. Two other promotions of mine no longer show up but Tforce confirmed they are still active.

Seems most people who are told are not eligible, are able to add the line and see the promotion. We shall see if they stick.

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).

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.

Also mentioned is the fact that the new DCC must be charged. This is a $35 "Device Connection Charge" that was recently created.

I have been needing another line to keep my company's BYOD profiles and control off of my personal phone. Any ideas about what the best/cheapest phone would be with reasonable features and battery life for this use case?
