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.

I have the Magenta plan with 2 paid lines and 1 free line, which started a little over a year ago in 2021.

First, I checked my account online through a browser, I didn't see the promotion in the details section.

I called 611 anyway mentioned to them the promotion I saw, the guy put me on hold for at least 20 minutes total. At first he said I already had the 2021 free line promo, but I told him this was a different promo, a 2022 promo. After some more holding, he finally concluded my account didn't qualify... so far a little more than 30 minutes wasted, but to his credit, he actually called me back after I hung up to offer me the $100 for 4 lines deal that is also going on now, lol, persistent bugger....

Anyway, I decided to try the chat in the T-Mobile app. I typed in the code "2202 BYOD Line P1" and asked if I qualified for the promotion. This rep knew what I was talking about and told me I did qualify, going against what my online account stated and against what the phone rep stated earlier, but hey, I'm not the one to question this. I even asked about an eSIM, but decided it wasn't worth the trouble and went with the physical SIM because the rep wasn't sure how an eSIM would work. Granted this chat session took over an hour total with all the delays going back and forth, providing my IMEI, providing payment info for the $35 activation fee, confirming/agreeing to the terms, and finally completing the order and getting me an order number.

So after about 1.5 hours (which I spent most of it reading almost 40 pages of this thread LOL), now I have 4 lines for the "price of 2", thanks for this thread!

I added it with tmobile one and had 9 lines already. Maybe try another agent?
Glad it worked for you!
I'm really unsure what the criteria might be. It could possibly be based on eligible plans (ONE in this case seems to be eligible in your case) but being the lucky "randomly selected" account.
I chatted with 3 Tforce agents, all told me my plan is ineligible.
I chatted with 6 Tmobile App Chat agents, 3 told me I am eligible, 3 told me I am not eligible.
Spoke with one 611 agent who hadn't heard of the promotion and wanted to call me back on Monday.

I would take information provided by Tmobile App Chat agents with a grain of salt unless the promotions are already showing up! Tforce seem to provide the most reliable information.

Simple Choice 6GB (now unlimited) Plan
2 lines for $80
+ 2 Free Lines on US Promo (from 2016?)

Was able to chat with support on T-mobile App and they added the line no problem. Since I dont have an extra phone at the moment they are just sending a sim in the mail. $35 connection charge but I dont really care about that.

Quote from OKAYSD :
Bad luck chatting 1st time through app. Rep said this promo is only for accounts that don't have free line. Rep said my account is not eligible due to old free lines and insider discount.
Worse is All my T-Mobile lines lost service right after chat. Is this a coincidence or did the chat rep do something to my account?
I am worried and scared. Why did I chat anyway?
Still no service as I am typing.
That's pretty bad. I would try to get ahold of another agent ASAP to see if something was done incorrectly.

Called 611 as others have suggested and the rep didn't know about the promo, so she asked her supervisor. They said that it was a targeted promo and that my Simple Choice account was eligible, so she charged the $35 for the DCC and is shipping me a SIM. Thanks OP!

I was able to get in with the 2022 holiday unwrap promo which required a BYOD phone (which I had anyway) so everything worked out.

Even better, I was at 9 lines which apparently used to be some sort of max, but the store rep was able to call into the magic tmobile support number and the extended me to an account that can have up to 12 lines...

Maybe someone else is in a similar situation. If you thought you were maxed at 9, try anyway.

That is incorrect. You can add additional lines to One Plus Promo
That's not what we talking about.
We were talking about original 2 for $100 T-Mobile One plan

Same with me, the rep said he could upgrade me to having 12 max lines. I asked the rep if it was going to cancel any of my promotions or credits and he said no. So i went through with the upgrade along with the free line.

Have the T-Mobile one 9-12 line plan no insider with 9 lines (2 AAL, all lines have one plus promo, 4 lines have kickback & 1 line has international unlimited hotspot) and 1 AAL tablet line (this one's on us.)

Asked for the free line promo through T-Mobile app chat and rep asked for proof; provided screenshot of 3rd line free deal + infographic found on Reddit. Rep verified I was eligible and took screenshot of rep saying that my plan would not change; was then charged $35 and used esim to avoid $10 sim fee. Got a text 30 min later saying promotional service discount will be remain active as long as I maintain eligibility.

Fast forward 3 hours later. I go into T-Mobile app chat again and ask for a rep to add one plus promo to the free line I just added. Rep then offers me free line promo instead of adding one plus promo to the free line I just got, stating account is eligible for adding a new line that is absolutely free (rep's exact words) then rep says to only pay $35 activation fee and so I did. Used a physical SIM card and everything is good to go.

What's concerning is I didn't receive a follow up text stating the promotional discount would be active as long as I maintained eligibility; checked the T-Mobile service promos and it shows:

$30 2022 BYOD Line P1 (Additional Lines)

Took screenshots of both reps verifying eligibility with $35 activation charge and line would be free for the account. Now have 11 voice lines and 1 tablet line.

Have no idea what's going to happen with the next bill so fingers crossed I didn't mess up the account 🤞 since it looks like they gave me the same holiday promo twice.

Same with me. Upgraded to 12 max lines. And i also checked my brother in laws account to do the same. The rep told me his account was able to get up to 15 lines. Soo idk what determines the max number of lines. Got him and myself the free lines
