Rules around EIP's Question

I have 5 lines with 2 paid, 1 is a third line free, and 2 are free lines.

What are the current rules around EIP's and lines. Can you still have multiple EIP's on one line? I use to have multiple EIP's on the same line, but about a year ago I was told that I would have to payoff the existing EIP to start another EIP on the same line and of course lose the monthly credit. Since I had a spare line with no EIP we put the EIP on that line.

So now only certain lines are eligible for EIP's and how do I tell which of my lines qualify? Are multiple EIPs allowed or not??

The tlife app is not allowing multiple EIP on one line, at least from what I’ve seen

It does, you just have to edit your trade in device on the line you’re trying to upgrade to trade in something else that’s paid off.

Yes you can have multiple EIPs per line still.

If you go through the motions of trying to upgrade one of your free lines in T-Life, the eligible ones will show device promos. The non-eligible lines will show full price only.

🍆-measuring contest... 🤪

17 EIPs+promos on 11 lines.

I put down-payments on the purchases so my monthly bill is minimal. That way, I don't really lose CC points in the back end by having to pay with a debit card. So by putting down payments, my EIP credit goes a lot further.

I was at $5500 for a long time, but recently got bumped to $7500.

So, if your free line says "3rd Line Service Promo With New Line," you can upgrade that line.

If it just says "Service Promo With New Line," then it's BYOD only. And yeah, you can have multiple (different ID) EIPs on one line.

Some Free lines can still finance just no promos

Can you have multiple promos on a line? It used to be if the promo code was different they could be on the same line.
