FYI these deals are usually for non-discounted plans: Magenta, Max, Go5g, Go5g+ (one and simple choice might qualify). Spring customers, military, 55+, metro pcs may not qualify. Either way it's best to confirm if you qualify before adding the line, otherwise it's YMMV if you add it on your own without checking.

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.

Edit* Terms & Conditions? 'Customers must have the "2023BYOD_P1" segment on their account in Atlas or Tapestry to qualify. Customers with no segment or "2023BYOD_P1 - Inactive" are not eligible. BYOD or FRP purchases only (EIP not eligible for life of line). Device Connection Charge is required.'

These never work with 2 lines for $70 55+ plan. You need to convert to a much more expensive plan to get the "free" one.

As a Tmobile "ONE Plan All in Promo" I've got 2 lines, for which I pay $80. I can never get them to give me a free line add on unless I change my plan to something that's going to cost me more.

Just went to T-Mobile from Verizon. MEH
Just make sure you go into the privacy settings and turn everything to "opt out".
Then have T-Mobile disable the biometrics tool. This is why they scan your drivers license which gives them your photo. They can also require an additional separate photograph to confirm that your drivers license is valid. Don't consent to this.

Every time I hear these stories, it's always someone with an iPhone 6S on T-Mobile in 2021 or beyond. Their 2020+ era coverage using a new phone with all the applicable new T-Mo bands they operate in is as good as our Verizon phone. Usually, the T-Mo service is faster too.
T mobile works great in cities. I had 4 iPhone 14s and had issues. I travel a lot and normally have no issues in places line NYC. But once you leave a city or major suburb, forget about it.

Much like the December promo, I didn't get any text message confirming this promo and I don't see anything yet on the web site. Guess I'll just have to be patient again and hope it shows in 1 or 2 billing cycles again

Got the below message from twitter.

I am super glad you reached out about this limited time offer we are doing on preselected accounts. Thanks for taking the time to pass your account information to us here.

On reviewing your account, I see it does qualify for the 2023 BYOD P1 promotion! 🎉

Congratulations!

From here, if you want to activate it, there are some important details to know.

1. The line cannot be used for any financing, ever. Any device purchases done through the line must be for full retail price, meaning paid outright.
2. There is a device connection charge to activate the line of $35 that cannot be waived.
3. This line can only be added through a representative. You cannot add the line through our website or app and get the promotion.

If you would like to move forward let me know.

Reply here with:

Your email for the order notifications,
If you would like to use eSIM or a physical SIM card.
If physical SIM, I will need the shipping address to send it to.

Like with all our add a line offers, if you cancel service on any of your lines within 12 months, change line types, or migrate to an ineligible plan, you'll lose the monthly bill credit for the free line.

Additionally, if you cancel service on the line receiving the bill credits, you will lose the monthly bill credit for the line.

I got it added to my simple choice plan and they waived the device connection fee. But even when it is free, it will still cost like 3.50 per month for taxes and fees. So why keep it if you don't need it?

Here I am with 11 lines and will never contact any customer service sources, tforce or no. Very afraid of them raising suspicions and auditing my account. If they only knew how much my bill is lol.

Please don't contact me how much I am paying. Not gonna to say it.
And the beauty of it is: I don't care. So no worries.

Well I pulled the trigger with this rep on the T-Mobile app. Paid the $35 for the sim and he credited the account back. Of course he and his manager assured me countless times that it is a free line and the account is eligible.

I am definitely worried since it's T-Mobile reps and mostly are clueless but I guess it's done and I'll see over the next two billing cycles.

So currently on the One Plan with insider discount, one plus promo, kickback on 9 lines, autopay, etc.

I'll have to work to get kickback and the One Plus Promo on the new 10th line assume it actually is free
Your 10th line doesn't change your Plan, so just cancel it later if it's not free. KB is only on lines 1-9 on those One Plan, even back in the days so I doubt the discount will apply even if you find a Rep to add it.

I reached out T-Mobile via iMessage and was told that I'm not eligible. I got a call from T-Mobile care, and rep mentioned that he is the supervisor and he would request an exception and add promo in my account. He will give me a call tomorrow to add a free line after the promo is added. Not sure if this is legit. I don't want to add a line to find out it's not free and don't want to lose other free line.

This line is not eligible for free phones for the life of the line, not worth it.
So by saving on service you can buy devices and it probably mainly applies to EIP or similar situation. Buying through other sellers like bestbuy would probably still qualify for full amount purchase.

Yeah, my plan is to mail her the existing SIM from my account that will eventually have her number. Once my sister ports her out to Google voice, we'll have Google voice forward the calls to this SIM; thus immediately, any incoming calls to her number should seamlessly go to the new SIM. The hassle will be timing this when she can be at the T-mobile store, so they can help do the SIM swap for her.

At that point, I can take my time to port her number back in; but she won't have to change SIM's as her number will be directly on her phone as intended The main concern is until then, when she calls her friends, they will see a different number on their caller ID; and the elderly can and should be cautious about answering calls from strange numbers.
Just get the line. Then port your mom's number over to visible (you can find a referral code on reddit to make it like $5) and then port back in over the line you just got. I have done this in order to move lines over from another account to mines. The whole porting out 90 days thing is only if you want to try to take advantage of some kind of deal on the line that you're porting over. If you're not taking advantage of an AAL deal or some kind of EIP deal, then it's fine. You don't have to wait a day or anything is you have a phone with esim. I do it like immediately after the number gets ported over to visible, same day.
