Glad it worked out for you. It's 1 year from when you got the BOGO promo, so wait until Jan 2026 before porting or cancelling.

It's actually 1 year after promo start. That's what it says in the C2 and also from personal experience. I removed a line 1 year after promo start date and kept the bogo.

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.

Nice, it's a grandfathered plan so it's cool they were able to give you that one time exception.

Just to make sure I'm not missing anything in the fine print, this is for the 16 Pro only, not the 16 Pro Max, is that correct?

Either phones are eligible.

I have 12 lines on my account. Is there a way to add a new line given that there is a 12 line limit on personal consumer account.

Went to the Costco today and rep said they do not have this promotion, only for Go5G plans. I asked to talk with manager and he confirmed it too (. Any ideas? Thanks

My plan (FRLTUL2LP) is on the list and I see the promo value after selecting a phone and trade-in. However when adding it to cart it says I need to switch to Go5G
Edit: evidently this plan can never exceed 3 lines

Are Costco/Sam iPhone prices a bit cheaper compared to add T-mobile or only difference is fees waived and the gift card promos ?

Just thinking about this with some of the recent comments, I'm maxed out and similar old plan, hypothetically wouldn't it be possible to just move one or two of the lines to a data line, wouldn't that free up space and allow me to add&trade? Number itself wouldn't be cancelled just in a different category, does it make sense or nah?

If you really want this, you will have to find a friendly T-Force rep to change your plan to something like FRLTULF2 [reddit.com]. $120 for 2 lines but now have a 8 line limit, +$20 per additional line.
