Review & take action
Care, Web, & Telesales
- Confirm the customer is on an eligible rate plan. If they are not on an eligible plan, change them to one before proceeding. For Select Choice customers specifically, the rate plan must be changed before the new line can be added. Once complete, restore the plan to the original Select Choice plan.
- Assist the customer with processing their activations/AALs (activation may occur in Samson, if necessary) to meet the line requirements for the promotion. Initiate any port-in requests at this time.
- When processing the activation/AAL, include the $25 SIM Starter Kit to your customer’s order. If a customer wants to activate service with a device and SIM card they already have, use the following positioning statements to guide you through the interaction. Note: Activations will continue to follow their existing Activations and AAL policies.
- "Thank you for being prepared today! I know you have a SIM card already, but to make sure you don’t have any issues receiving texts or using our awesome LTE data, we provide a SIM starter kit which includes our most up-to-date SIM technology and personalized account provisioning for the new number we’re setting up today. This is just $25 and will be the only thing you pay today since you’re bringing your own device!"
- "As your account expert, it’s my goal to provide a complete solution so that you don’t have to call back. I recommend using the SIM Starter Kit to prevent any connectivity issues that may result from using an old SIM card. This will ensure that you’ll have the best wireless experience and that we can take care of your new activation on one call."

Billing details
- Bill credits will apply monthly, starting by the end of the first bill cycle after activation, for as long as customers meet the criteria listed in the “What's included” section. They will display on the bill under the applicable mobile number as “FREE AAL PROMO – VOICE LINE”.
- Credit for voice lines only applies to talk, text, and $0 data lines; data add-ons greater than $0 will be the customer’s responsibility to pay.
- The line with the lowest MRC activated during the promotional window will get the free discount.
- A maximum credit of $25 applies for MI lines regardless of the data bucket size. The customer is responsible for the difference.
- The $25 credit can be combined with an auto MI plus Voice discount.

- Post-offer enrollment: Customers who cancel any lines on their account that were active as of February 27, 2017 will lose their promotional discount. Canceling lines that are not paid, like DIGITS or On Demand MI lines, will not impact the customer's eligibility.
- If the customer cancels the line(s) activated under this promotion, they will lose their promotional credit. They can resume the canceled line within 30 days and the promotional credit will resume. Customers will not receive any credits that were missed when the line(s) was canceled.

Mobile number changes and port-ins

- Port in requests:
- Sales: All number transfers (also known as port requests) are to be submitted at the time the activation is submitted. It is not acceptable to bypass the established process by activating a new T-Mobile number and then requesting a number change after the activation is complete.
- Care: AAL orders through TOM may continue to be activated with temporary number, and customer can initiate port in once equipment is received.
- T-Mobile for Business: Port in requests must be submitted at time of activation. See Porting lines for business customers: Business Direct.
