Sometimes these deals require going in store and limited time (24-72hrs usually). It's completely free (taxes & fees not included). If you have a tax inclusive plan like magenta, then everything is free (you might still have tax/fees of 10 cents or so... pointing it out since it triggers some people). Free as long as you don't close it. If you removed any lines in past 90 days they must be added before you can add another lime that would be free. If you cancel any lines within 12 months from adding the free line you lose the discount.
You CAN port a number in while adding the free line or later down the road. If you port the number OUT later, you might lose the free line. You can remove lines after 12 months and it won't affect the free line. Generally, you can't get the free line & a free phone promotion, extremely YMMV since it works for a few people, but I wouldn't count on it.
Know the terms and conditions before making a mistake and ranting.

I had a lot of difficulty with the last added free line, too complicated to relate what happened here. The gist is that i lost all my free lines in adding the new free one. The problem was corrected with the help of great T Mobile service people.
I have ended up with 9 lines for $90, T Mobile ONE plan. I don't know how I ended up with this deal, but I am likely at the maximum number of free lines on my particular plan.
I may ask, but will not tempt fate..
You didn't run into this problem?

I swear I'm such a cheapskate that I stick with them and their abuse and lies, and monthly "hacking" of our personal data. If ATT or Verizon ever came close to an understandable plan that was even remotely competitive I'd move my 5 lines (and many people I've referred) over in a heartbeat. Every time I talk with a Tmobile employee I have to figure out what parts they are telling me are true and what parts are a complete fraud, it's tedious.
On the other hand, I am not 100% sure if you can port your mom's line out to like a different carrier for like a month and then port it back to T-Mo under your account. Replace the free line number with your mom's port-in number. Best to ask T-Force (via Twitter or Facebook Messenger).
