I currently have 11 lines on Tmobile One. I think i pay for 4 of them.

Sweet, thanks. My plan is to move from 8 lines to 10, and my hope is that my free lines (currently six, soon 7) will all get $40 discount on the base 9-plan rate. Can you confirm it works that way?

I also think I snagged a 20% insider discount (supposed to take affect when my bill cycles), and there's a chance I'd also get 20% off the 9-line base rate as well, even though most of those lines are free.

Hope nobody gets too excited with me bumping this thread.

T-mobile free line coming on 11/17 to existing 55+, Military, or First Responder customers whose account has been active for three months.

There’s been a BOGOF line offer for a while now, they keep renewing it and changing the terms. It’s currently available for existing customers and requires you to have two paid lines on specific plans (including SC, Magenta, Essentials, etc.)

Anyone here with T-mobile have 9+ lines along with free line and/or insider promos?
do you mean 12/17 ?

About time. So we can finally get a free line that I'll end up keeping. With my 8 lines at $160. And this free line, that's a nice perk. If it actually works out. Either I'll sell the line or use for a family phone for the kids. Thanks @AsherO for the good word.

Did you end up going the first responder route and you’re gonna take 1 free line here? How many will you have in total?

Try to get an offshore supervisor an override to give you 20% insider discount, it’ll be 20% off the base rate before the free lines (at least for the first line), which is a pretty penny.

The only thing to consider here is if you take a free line now you extend your inability to cancel any paid lines you aren’t using for another year.

Once the year is done you can cancel paid lines, or if you want to keep the number you can port the paid line to GV for 90 days, then port it back in onto a free line (so you keep the free line but with the number that got ported to GV and back).

Is the t-mobile 5G internet eligible for the insider discount?

You mean home internet? I think the discount only applies to voice lines but I'm not 100% sure.

Cool. Yes thats a great offer if I would have still held onto the old grandpa plan. At this point i have 8 paid lines at $20 a line all inclusive for unlimited e/t.
   So a free line would be my best bet.
   Also why the need to stay on GV for 90 days?

Free line for certain plan types (Military, first responder, 55+) and BOGO for a much broader list of plans. The terms are similar but potentially marginally more restrictive.

I'm assuming there is no link yet? Would love to get another line for my parents first responder plan.

Bad news, I think I was mislead by Reddits "FREE voice line..." topic, it looks like it's really buy-one-get-one-free line for Military, FR, and 55+. It's basically a sister-promotion to the BOGO free line promo they have for other plan types (Simple Choice, Essentials, Magenta etc.)

It's OK, we still like you!
 Though that would have been a sweet promo offer.
      Though that's the type of offer they should be giving the 1st responders and 55+.

   I need a new phone or two. So was willing to go to Costco to open a new line just to get the $300 back per line I open.
  Didn't have the time to go during Black Friday.
 If they have any decent promos now. It's still an OK offer. Though I would just sub out the lines at cost or a bit more to get back what I paid for it.

   Any Samsung above the S9, is what I'm looking for. In case you hear any good promo offers.

 But thanks for the reporting though.

 Half true good news is still good news.  ;)

BestBuy has the Galaxy s21 for $399 (+tax) when you add a line (can combine with the BOGO).

Costco’s integration system has been down since Monday (I called yesterday and they confirmed this is still the case), so their $300 BYOD cash card rebate isn’t an option until that’s corrected.

But seriously, thanks for the info, even if it doesn't work for me this time.

Is it still possible to get a good deal with T-Mobile? Thinking of switching from visible if I can get a good deal.
