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.

First off, all reps are different. I have always has better results in Am or early afternoon, because I believe you are dealing with US reps as opposed to later or by phone. Judging by the broken English, calls messages can be routed out of country. My personal experience has been way better customer service at these times, albeit slower. And I'm talking about more account/promo questions. They seem to try harder or take it upon themselves to escalate to help you.
But make it clear you to them you want to remain on the One plan, first and foremost. The magic number is 9 lines on One plan.. aka 9-12 club...Technically it is a change of plans to them(different soc#) but to you, plan wise, it is still called One plan... Things may be different now, but you are so damn close to having amazing things happen to your cell phone bill, it's worth atleast another try with a different rep.... And of all my years dealing with Tmob including very recently, TForce on Twitter can really be your friend at those times I mentioned. good luck.. it's like striking gold if you are successful. lol
I am on simple choice plan, no previous free lines.
Thanks.
I am just trying to know the benefits of this new line.

I'm on a simple choice, $70/2 line promo from a decade ago. I have 3 paid lines, 2 magenta friday lines taking me to 6 total lines now.
I tried adding online but saw no indication of eligibility. Instead I called, waited on hold 52 minutes, and the rep added. They also waived the activation. Think I'll stop in metropcs and get an iPhone se3 promo to throw on this line.
