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"
lmao

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 got the same repsosne after asking over 16 hours ago. I guess I'll try it too. I'm on a Simple Choice plan. We'll see if it works. I can awlays cancel and ask to get my money back since I have it in writing.

Seems like this is just asking to be given the run around to cancel a line that was added and billed for a line that was supposed to be free. That's probably their plan.

I see the new line as well as increased bill, but no mention of the promotion. Anybody else? Worried I was added a line regularly. Was told I was eligible for the free line, chat records say free line multiple times

We called T-Mobile this morning and the T-Mobile representative Brain admitted that he just learned that this morning from their meeting. He added one line to our Simple Choice North America three paid lines and charged $35 (already shown up in my email notice).
Do you plan on cancelling one of your 3 paid lines in 12 months?

Another data point:

I called 611 yesterday and I was told that my plan was not eligible, but the rep said that new promotions would possibly post next Thursday (12/22) and that he would proactively reach out to me if my account was eligible at that time. That wasn't super convincing so...

Later that day, I chatted with a rep via the app, and I was also told that my rate plan was ineligible. Reason given was that I already had one free line so I couldn't double-dip and get another one. Obviously, that's not true.

Today, the primary account holder initiated a business chat via the imessage system. CS rep said that free lines were only for magenta plans.

Finally on our fourth attempt, primary account holder calls 611 and asks for the "free line promotion". CS rep replies, "Sure, I can help with that!" and she took our CC details for the $35 payment to pay for the SIM card. Call took 5 minutes. We debated asking for $35 dollar account credit to offset the $35 charge, but we decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth and we quit while we were ahead. In the grand scheme of things, we'll claw back the $35 bucks in two billing cycles with the free line.

We are on the Simple Choice North America Plan: Unlimited Talk + Text with 2GB data bucket that was later upgraded for free to unlimited data.

The takeaway is to keep calling and calling until you find a rep that gives you the answer that you want. We have no other leverage since the qualifications for the promotional eligibility are not disclosed publicly.

That's quite a combo you assembled there, well done. I don't think it does get any better than that. A keeper for life. ;-)
Definitely no complaints here, but there are plenty on reddit that have better deals than I.

The bad part is if another free line promo comes up in the near future (like within 90 days) that you DO qualify for the cancelation will void that qualification, lol

Can anyone tell me how long it takes for the promo to show on your promotions tab? I got order confirmation of a Sim being shipped out but no promo showing on my account.

Not sure if agent did it right.
A new line was added yesterday afternoon (Simple Choice family plan), the line finally showed up in my account this morning with the promotion attached to it.

same boat, I'm in SC plan. are you?

I try to connect with Tforce but not going thru
I saw the same on my new line today. They added SC 6GB DATA & SMHS which cost $15/month.
I called 611 and talked to Steve from Maine. He removed it and added the free 4GB to match my other lines.

Hmmm, this is on pretty shaky ground. You should note that if your account / plan is eligible for the promo it will just be and you can order the line on your own online. Whatever CSR you talked to that finally said you're eligible and the previous 3 said you're not, he/she is not doing any special (like adding some promo code) to make it eligible (unless they're switching your plan to make it eligible, which is worse); they are basically just doing the ordering for you. I (and many others) learned the hard way in past and had to cancel the line after it was really not eligible. With that said, if you have that CSR write notes on your account as proof, at least you have evidence to fight them if the promo is not eligible for you.

The rep insisted data will be part of the new line just like every other line in my existing Simple Choice plan. I finally pulled the trigger and am keeping the chat log in case I need to fight with T-mobile later.

By the way, I still don't see the new line being added to my account. The rep said I won't see it until I activate the sim card which will take five days to arrive. It sounds like you have already seen your new line in your account.
UPDATE to my own question, and hope this helps someone who is in the similar situation:

The new line finally showed up in my account this morning, and the promotion was applied to it (which is good). The sim card is being shipped out today.

What I was worried about the data plan happened. The rep actually added a 6GB data plan to the new line which costs an additional $15/mo. I immediately call 611 and tried to sort it out. Luckily I was connected to a US-based rep this time, and after explaining the situation, the lady knew exactly what happened, and she was able to fix my data plan quickly. Now the new line has the unlimited data with $0/mo just like the rest of my lines in the existing Simple Choice family plan.

To everyone who has gotten this promo after chatting with a rep, I need your help.

I'm on the MM 55+ plan
I'm chatting with a rep on iMessage and he says if i switch to the regular Magenta plan then I'll be eligible for the free line promo.

Has anyone encountered this situation yet?

Edit: to add to my earlier question, can I switch from MM 55+ to regular Magenta and take the free lineoffered by this rep. Then after the promo is added to the account switch back to MM 55+?
Is there anything in the promo terms that negates the offer if you switch to a different plan?
