Ive got the ONE plan with 12 lines. 12 lines is the max line count for my plan so if i add a new line itll make me change my plan. If i cancel one of my lines that i dont use much can i then apply for this deal or is there a timeframe between when u cancel and add a new linr?

How much you get in gift cards if you add bogo lines at Costco?

Why are people adding lines? are they canceling it after 90 days or something? I remember the old costco days - but i see some posts saying you need to keep it for 2 years due to bill credits - how is this a deal?

I have the Tmobile unlimited kickstart which was converted from the sprint kickstart plan. I got the SOC code and found it in the document. Tried buying the phone by adding a line and when it got to the point where it tried to it says it can't do it for my plan. Went to Costco and told them the name of my plan and the tmo rep there says it probably doesn't qualify for the promo. Guess I'm SOL on getting rid of my old iPhone 6.

You already have many lines, two of which are BOGO (free line A and paid line B). Now add two lines (free line C and paid line D). After adding C and D, port out A and B to a cheap provider. Later, port back lines A and B to C and D. That's my understanding. Some people say that you can't port out any existing lines for a year.

I think some people with old plans can add a line for $10 so you can get 2 lines (bogo) for $10 a month plus 2 phones assuming you have something to trade.

YMMV, but I still have not received the trade-in credits from 5 years ago after spending 50+ hours on the phone with reps, twitter reps, chat reps. Even considered suing them. I figured it just is not worth my time any more but I would not recommend T-mobile to my worst enemy especially if it involves "trade-in".
Same here - I had 2 trades they never gave me credit for and after the autopay and rate increases I left TMO. 24 years. Eff those guys.

I just tried this on my grandfathered simple choice plan online. It offered me the discount, but also said that adding a line would cost me $25/month. i currently have 6 lines (2 on the basic plan, 2 @ $10/month, and 2 free) and 4 data lines. Adding one more line seems to be rather costly. If I have to keep this for 1 year, that is an additional $300 and negates most of the value. Has anyone with simplechoice found that an additional line was less? I thought it would be teh same as my additional lines at $10/line/month, not $25/month

So the math no longer works as well: $999+ tax -830 +100 + 12 * (25+7)-= $724 for a iphone 16 pro + 1 year 2 lines. about a $200 savings for locking into Tmobile for 2 years.

Same with me. But, customer care confirmed it would be $10 per line if we add the line with them on the call or visit a nearby store. Visited a store and they confirmed it would be $10 per line.

Depends on the SC plan. My extra lines are $20 each.
