Quote from AndieNarwhal :
On Simple Choice Family with 2 current lines (line 1 and 2). My plan is to go to Costco, trade in a iPhone 12 for a 16 Pro, and open 2 lines with BOGO for $10, no data (will be lines 3 and 4)

I want to use the new iPhone on line 1, and port a flip phone my LO has onto line 4 with no phone on line 3.

Then, after 12 months, I will add data to line 3 (will I then be able to add data to line 4 for free too?), port out line 2 and port it back in to line 3 (resulting in 2 paid lines and a free line all with data)

Does this sound like it will work?
Unfortunately, no. All BOGO and free line promotions require a base of 2 paid lines (a few require 3), so if you cancel 2 lines and go back to 2 lines total, you lose the BOGO promotion.

So you can either keep you current plan of 2 lines, or start building a bigger plan that is cheaper per line by leveraging different BOGO promotions (4 lines with 3 lines paid, 6 lines with 4 lines paid, etc)

I'm in the same boat as you, One plan max @ 8 but I remember that we can ask t-mobile to increase it to 12 without plan change. This is what I'm doing now to see if it's possible so I can add 2 lines.
update-Tforce just told me I'm eligible for the current promo (iphone & bogo) & they will change my plan to 9‐line plan without losing any promo.
"Hi xxxx My name is Jewels and I'll be your T-Force specialist today. Thanks for taking the time to reach out through social media and welcome to T-Force support! I'm excited to hear you are interested in upgrading your phone and adding some lines. You have some great service discounts, so I understand not wanting to lose any. I'm here to help! 😊

I took a look over your account and if we switch you to our T-Mobile One 9-line plan, you will not lose any of your current discounts. Additionally, you can take advantage of the $1000 off iPhone 16 with a new line and trade-in, as well as the BOGO line offer. Would you like to make the switch?
9-12 lines is where the magic starts, where your One plan gets cheaper the more free lines you have. T-Force is right, but since you have a grandfather plan, I recommend being cautious and take it slowly. Get your current SOC, and ask on reddit what's the 9-12 line version of the SOC and if it works for the BOGO / iPhone promotion. If so, then specifically ask T-Force to change it to that SOC only.

I converted one eligible line to DIGITS and rep added lines 7 & 8 with BOGO and $1000 off on 16 pros. Ordered a 16 pro and 16 pro max.

TForce had updated mine to ONE 9-lines plan, crossing my finger in hoping nothing change. Did you do this (add lines) online? Not sure if I want to do this at apple, costco, or at t-mobile store.

Quote from deals2look :
I have simple choice North america 6 GB plan with 2 paid lines and 2 free lines.

I want to add another line with BOGO so I will be having total 6 lines. I am not planning to use newly added lines for anything.

After 24 months, If I want to remove newly added lines, can I still keep my old free lines?
Your post is ambiguous so my response can only be ambiguous. As long as your plan qualifies for the promotion, you probably can cancel the BOGO with affecting your existing free lines.

But if you are not going to use the BOGO lines 5 & 6, why even wait 2 years. T-mobile historically will move EIP and RDCs between lines [reddit.com], so you could move lines 5 & 6 EIP / RDC to line 1-4 then just cancel lines 5 & 6 early.

If you are going to do this, I recommend getting the specifics and double checking on the T-mobile subreddit. Get your plan SOC, your free line IDs, and asking if this idea will work for your SOC and free line IDs, and how long you should wait before transferring RDCs and cancelling.

Well, enjoy your cheaper One plan. Depending on if the free line is line 8 or line 9, your plan may drop a few $.

I switched to 4 lines for $100 and on essentials plan. All new phones require contract and higher monthly plan.

Dont know if anyone knows $$ monthly increment to a plan that's eligible for this offer?
