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!

    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.

    trying to port numbers away from google voice line because i have a few non-replacable service that just will never send verificatino to google voice number. 

    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"
