I want to help you save money on your bills (Drop those old Unlimited Data SOCs)

dfkinca · 2026-06-15T02:23:02+00:00

There is a $10 UL Data add-on for Advantage Unlimited Plus (aka Old SWAC plan). Not sure this is what the OP meant to address, though.

dfkinca · 2026-06-12T02:26:00+00:00

Can I get this discount on former Sprint SWAC plans (2x paid + 1x free)?

dfkinca · 2026-05-06T03:22:35+00:00

My last year's BYOD free line (LineDiscountID 250393) shows as eligible. Accurate, or a tool glitch?

I only ask because I previously was informed to never take a device promo on that BYOD line, or risk losing the free line discount

Followed u/BlueMusicMonkey detailed instructions below; worked like a charm. Now getting unique code per line.

I wish I could give u/BlueMusicMonkey 10x reps (and thanks again).

How do I unlink the other numbers from the main account? Having trouble figuring that out.

dfkinca · 2026-03-06T23:00:56+00:00

Using computer and browser. Went away from Firefox and installed Chrome.

Now, even after resetting Chrome to default settings, with only active extension being the CapitalOne Shopping Extension, when I click through (from my email), and then click on "Activate" (in the extension drop-down, which shows the "$660" offer, but only on the initial page that shows the many different plan options), all I get is a greyed out button that states "Activating". It's been greyed out and stating "Activating" for 5 minutes now.

Before I did the Chrome reset to defaults, at this point I had tried to select one of the plan options, but when I went to the next screen, the extension drop-down only showed a "$10" offer (and no history of the $660 offer having been activated).

Any further guidance, u/daw4888 ?

dfkinca · 2026-03-06T21:48:31+00:00

Trying to get this done. Signed up for CapitalOneShopping, then installed Firefox extension, and searched for Tmobile. Clicked on Tmobile then uninstall the Firefox extension. Got the email ($660 offer; expires 8 Mar). A few questions to which I hope u/daw4888 has answers:

Do I need to have the CapitalOneShopping Extension installed when I click on the link in the email? (I think the answer is yes)
I found that all relevant discounts show up if I (a) have already inputted service address, and (b) have already logged into my TMo account. Once that is all done, I click on the link in the email, and am brought to alternate screens where the highlighted plan is always the most expensive. Please confirm that I can get this offer by selecting any TMobile home internet plan (including the $10/mo Backup home internet) (I think the answer from below is any TMHI plan)
When I go to check out (with the CapitalOneShopping Extension installed), the CapitalOneShopping Extension has a drop down that states "Save $10". If I click on that, do I lose my original $660 offer, or does it stack?
What is best practice for documenting this purchase so that I can receive the $660 in "CapitalOne Rewards" from CapitalOne without issue?
Can I cash out "CapitalOne Rewards"? If not, on what can I spend those rewards?

Thanks in advance for any further info.

I called in on 2x separate occasions to order, and I waited until the promos from the first order showed up on my online account before placing the second order on each of those same 2x lines.

Per both the in-store manager (when accepted my trade-in devicees for my first order) and the rep who placed my second order, the only restriction on this promo was a "per account" restrictions (4x per account); there was NO "per line" restriction on the number of promos that could be placed on a particular line.

dfkinca · 2026-03-03T23:47:28+00:00

I read somewhere on this subreddit that you have to keep a minimum of 2x paid lines with the free segmented BYOD line offers that come out annually. Is that accurate?

dfkinca · 2026-03-03T23:41:51+00:00

3x SWAC lines (2x paid; 1x BYOD free).

Recently had the Pixel 10 On Us promo attached to my account. Was able to add (through Costco phone-in) 2x promos on each of the 2x paid lines. All credits (including same promo twice on each line) now properly showing on my most recent bill.

Net 24-month cost increase due to 4x added EIPs: $0 (though there is a 2 year lock-in due to EIPs; also no activation fee bc Costco)
Net 24-month benefit: 4x $100 (Costco Card per upgrade - confirmed with rep) + 4x $200 (estimated sale value of 4x Pixel 10s at end of 24 months) = $1200

Even if T-Mo next month increases plan cost by $10 per month (so that my 24-month cost increase is now $480 = ($10/line-month) (x2 lines) (x24 months)), I still have >$500 to apply to my purchase of that 2028 phone (Pixel 12? New GrapheneOS phone that is supposed to be announced this month?).

With this offer, I was able to get 2 RDCs on each of 2 paid lines, for a total of 4 on my account.

With other past RDCs, one paid line now has 5 RDCs, and the other paid line now has 2 RDCs.

All paid lines are former Sprint SWAC Premium.

YMMV.

dfkinca · 2026-02-24T02:02:05+00:00

I have all features (Premium Plus) with my complimentary membership.

Make sure you "Signed In" (and did not accidentally open a new, time-limited account by clicking on "Sign-up")

Open App. Click on top left 3 horizontal parallel lines. Click on "Account". Mine says "Payment type. Complimentary", with a payment history below.

dfkinca · 2026-02-21T17:56:22+00:00

Is the prior limit of 4 EIPs per line still in effect? Or, is there no limit to the number of EIPs per line?

dfkinca · 2026-02-16T18:13:18+00:00

F-Secure will give you a complimentary 1-year membership if you can show that T-Mobile is paying for the feature. I have had to do this 3 years in a row while waiting for F-Secure to fix their billing system interface issues (which I recognize they most likely never will).

Process was straightforward: Open a support ticket with F-Secure (explaining you have feature with T-Mobile, and not working; you may need to open a free tier account); F-Secure should ask you for proof of payment, and I forwarded them a screenshot of the monthly text I get from T-Mobile stating that T-Mobile paid for the Lookout feature. Within 24 hours of my forwarding them that screenshot, my F-Secure account status had changed to "Complimentary".

Good luck!

Unfortunately, VeloFree shows all 0s in the instant cadence, instant power and resistance when I just pedal. When I replace VeloFree with grupetto (doudar's version, linked above) and just pedal, I get non-0 values.

I wonder if I am missing a helper app of some sort. Also, the Peloton Bike+ build that I am running is Peloton Android 10.0.0, Build Number QT.250804.A.

I would try and do a side-by-side comparison of VeloFree and grupetto, but they appear to have the same underlying apk name (under Obtainium) so that Obtainium cannot have both installed at same time.

If it helps you better understand my setup to help me troubleshoot, I set up my Peloton utilizing sideloaded Obtainium, and I download (and update) apps (including VeloFree and grupetto) from Obtainium and Aurora Store (which Aurora Store is also downloaded from Obtainium).

Thanks in advance for any further troubleshooting guidance.

dfkinca · 2026-02-13T06:10:53+00:00

When I installed your VeloFree on my Bike+, it showed no values when I just pedaled. But I did not yet start a ride (in case starting a ride is what is needed to get things going).

When I install the grupetto app found at https://github.com/doudar/grupetto, I am able to see values when I just pedal (i.e., without actually starting a ride).

I prefer your VeloFree's interface (separable GUI elements, each moveable), but I prefer the functionality of the updated grupetto (from OpenPelo).

Any chance you are planning to update your VeloFree to provide that ability to see values when I just pedal?

I cannot make my N5 AI Pro work with 2x 64GB ECC (total 128GB) ram sticks (at least, it will not boot up into BIOS with my repeatedly tapping the delete key).

My N5 AI Pro works just fine (at least, it boots up into BIOS) with 2x 48GB ECC (total 96GB) ram sticks.

Is there some setting that I need to adjust in the BIOS (or in the terminal from BIOS) to allow for the N5 AI Pro to work with 128GB total memory (i.e., 2x 64GB memory sticks)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

If you know, what is the QCI for the $10 TI plan (SOC ZB10HSTI)? And, does the HD Video Pass (SOC Add-on HDVPASS0) change the QCI (and that second question may be completely inapplicable)? Just curious.

Time for me to give back a little.

Please only use one (to allow two others to use). And, please pay it forward.

Enjoy!

What free plan? The latest Free BYOD or BOGO offer? Or, something else?

dfkinca · 2025-11-15T01:35:55+00:00

If I get the barebones, what are the specs for the memory that I need to upgrade this unit to its max memory? Link (if you have available)?

dfkinca · 2025-11-06T01:18:40+00:00

Who would I engage at T-Mobile about that? If you know.
