Ok so after one year it is fine? Just want to make sure. They are not related to bogo at all.
If you really want to make sure, you need to contact Tmobile and get the name of the rep. I would NOT make any decision based on comments on this site, since the comments range from highly accurate and insightful to total BS.

Hi Experts,
I have FRLTUL2LP and pay $88 for 2 unlimited lines One plan All (including HD video, kicjback if less than 2G data - which I always exceed) and 50% of on 3rd line. Called the number, and spent nearly 40 minutes talking to rep. He did say it qualifies but not too sure if he's aware of this promotion. He wanted IMEI but I kept telling him I need to know the price of 3rd line I have to pay and for some reason he was never giving me that detail. Eventually at nearly 40th minute said it is 3 lines and I can't do bogo, the line costing me $50 additional.
Will 50% on 3rd line bring it back to $25?

I believe this deal for Iphone 16 pro (or family) for trade-in is with bogo add 1 line right?
So no-go for me. Any tips for this plan change is it possible like someone pointed to change on reddit few years old? With this SOC code I haven't had any deal except one 4 years ago?
Thanks

Thanks, OP! I was out of town, and just reading up this thread. I went through most of the thread - apologize if I might have missed some of the answers I am seeking. First of all - not sure if this offer is still on? I am an existing Tmobile customer and have 5 lines on my grandfathered plan (Simple Choice North America), paying around $125/mo incl tax for those 5 lines. I do have a working S9 phone that I would like to trade in for this promotion, and I am a Costco member so I would do it there for the GC and the waived $35 fee. My current plan code is NAUTTF and I checked it is eligible - so I am hoping it works for my older plan?

Also, I don't want any new lines. Can I port out 2 original lines and bring them back into BOGO as new lines? Would I be able to keep my numbers? And do I still keep my OG Simple Choice plan, since I know if my plan upgrades my monthly bill will shoot up.

I'm on Sprint grandfather plan. $15 for kickstart and $0 for unlimited on us. I can see the $1000 credit when I add 16 pro into the cart, but I was not able to select the plan for the new line. See the error msg below. If I call T-Mobile to add the new line, will I lose my current plan (it says in Tmobile's error page)? Thanks.

I have the same plan code. call the number, dont bother wtih going in. you need 2 new lines. After the ~ 1 yr is up, you can do the port, but you cannot cancel any lines during that period. You can keep the same plan, I did,.

If you want the BOGO promo ID240574, you will have to switch plans. Depends on your effort if you can find a friendly and knowledgeable support agent to change you to another grandfathered ONE plan like FRLTULF2 or FRLTUL4LP.

You can get just the iPhone promo ID240725 by adding a third line. I'm not sure how the 3rd line 50% off legacy promo works so trust the agent on the pricing.

Without knowing your plan's SOC, this is just a guess: you reached the max # of lines for the SOC. Ask a T-mobile rep.

Depending on the plan, it might not be reasonable to do port out/ port back in to reduce lines. My simple choice plan has free unlimited data for existing lines but new lines are charged $15 per line per month as add-ons. I removed those add on data and now the only option to add data is $30 per line/month. Seems that I will just wait for EIP to finish and cancel the BOGO lines.

Ok, I bit today, but have a couple questions after reading the thread if anyone can help clarify:
My Deal: ID240725 via costco phone #, NO BOGO, added 10th line to family simple choice (SOC SCFUTT6), $830 credit for iphone 12 trade in + $75 costco credit for new line.

Questions:
1) How many months to wait before cancelling a different extra line? (I believe the monthly credits are tied to new line rather than acct, please correct me if wrong).
2) I didn't get anything in writing about monthly credits. they said it'd be added after the trade in. Is that normal?
3) Does anyone know if I can call to change which phone I'm trading in? I already gave them the IMEI but thought after to keep the old iphone for my kids and send in something cheaper.

Thanks

3 brothers here! We currently have Magenta with 3 lines. Can one brother open a new account and port the other 2 lines for BOGO?

Review any other promotions, free lines, EIPs, Kickback, etc. on your account and if nothing requires no cancellations, you can cancel. Since you didn't go for the BOGO, you don't have to wait for a year for it.

The promotion should show up in your EIP online within the first month, if not, ask an agent.

Check the other T-mobile deals, feedback is mixed. Some says no issue and send it in, get an error but if the phone qualifies you would still get the promotional value. Some says they had to fix it with support afterwards. Regardless, you should take screenshots of the promotion showing the trade-in phone, the promotional value, and the promotion id for your record.

Quote from quikie :

No, mail it in with the trade-in label or take it to corporate store for instant trade-in.
