T-Mobile targeted promo for select accounts, must have the listed "segment" on your postpaid account for this promo. Promo ID 230289. One-time activation charge of $35 applies, though you can ask them nicely and they might waive it or credit it to your account.

How much credits per month?
December 2022 was the first free line I got (not counting the free line I got automatically when I signed up with 2 paid Magenta lines). I used the chat in the T-Mobile app and the person was super helpful and told me I qualified. Everything went exactly as they said, I paid the $35 fee, ordered a SIM card, and within 12 hours I got a text saying a promo code was added and the new line, with promo code, showed up when I logged in to check my online account. I hadn't even received the SIM card in the mail yet at this point, but after my account showed the free line, I went into a T-Mobile store and got an eSIM and all has been good with that line.
The second time, June 2023, again through chat with the app I was told I qualified, the person waived the $35 activation fee, ordered me a SIM card, added the line, and it showed up on my account soon after but without the promo code. I didn't get a text about the promo code like the first time. I waited a day or two, still no promo code so I chatted again, and the person said it was a mistake and I didn't qualify for the free line. This all happened before I even received the SIM card in the mail.... I cancelled it immediately, but I had to pay the pro rated monthly fee of like $3 for the day or two I had the line... I guess no big loss.
Today, again I chatted via the app, and the person immediately said I qualified and asked me if I wanted a new SIM card. So he placed an order for a SIM card for me and then charged me the $35 activation fee. I asked him if there was any notification or sign that I can look out for to make sure I really got a free line. He said once you receive the SIM card and put it in your BYOD and start using it, the line will show up on your account... which seemed kind of weird to me because the past two times, the line showed up on my account before I even received the SIM card. We'll see what happens this time, fingers crossed.

Used TMO app chat, the rep said I was eligible. It has a few red flags (I don't see the "add a line promo" listed on my account after adding as I did with much older free lines)
I was about to be charged the $35 but I asked for a courtesy credit, and the rep created my account $35...I did pay $3.02 in taxes as well, which wasn't credited...oh well .
Sim card will be mailed to me in 3-5 days.
I asked them to add grandfathered one plus promo and kickback, and he said he sent a request and it would be automatically added once I activate the SIM card.
Got screenshots of it all...I'm fine with losing the free line if it ends up being more problematic than it is worth.
Simple choice with 5 lines. I opened the app and chatted with a rep. He assured me I won't get kicked out of the my choice plan and I won't have to pay taxes or fees, just the $35 activation. I was not able to pick my 2nd phone number but got to pick my area code. Took about 30 mins bc his computer froze. Gave him the imei2 number and it was activated. Now I can toggle between primary and secondary number.
Assured me 3x it's free each month as long as the line stays active.
