Can I add a prepaid line to my postpaid account?

Currently financing S22+ w/ Tmobile on a post-paid line.

 

My first question is can I add a prepaid line into my account that’s currently postpaid or do I need to create a separate account?

 

And second, can I add a prepaid e-sim and switch back and forth with my post-paid SIM?

  • Hola @sydchalla You wouldn't be able to add a prepaid line to your postpaid account, but you can add a regular line to your existing account or create a new prepaid account. It would be worthwhile to take a look at the cost difference for those two options. If you do create a prepaid account and are currently using a physical sim card for your postpaid account, I don't see why you couldn't activate your prepaid number on your esim profile. That is the great thing about the new dual sim capabilities of these new phones. 

    Hope this helps!

    Get a Google voice line, it's free and you use your Tmobile phone.

    If they won't send verifications to Google Voice.  They probably won't to a prepaid number either.

    Is a prepaid line count as a VOIP line? When I enter GV number, it says "please use non-VOIP number"

    A prepaid line is not a VOIP line but some of these verification services are looking to verify that there is a person attached to the number.  A prepaid line has no billing information and no ID or information is required to obtain one.
