Third line charged for number transfer

Hola,

I went to the T-Mobile store in January to buy a two line Magenta Max contract. My wife wanted a new number and I wanted to transfer my number from GoogleFI, so the sales rep created a temporary third line during the process that we needed to take over my number. The idea was to make sure that I won't cancel my number with GoogleFI too early and run into issues (I used the number for multiple 2FAs).

For some reason, I was billed this third line in my first month even though I have never used it. I was also not informed by the sales rep that this will incur any costs. I assume he didn't know either but he was very quick and knowledgeable. I then asked T-Mobile support chat to give me a refund two times over the course of a month and was promised that I will get a discount within the next 2-3 future bills. Instead of the refund the chat removed my employee discount for some reason and I had to call the hotline to get it back on (this is solved by now). The refund for the third line first month has not happened so far. When will I get my refund for this temporary line? Had anyone else similar issues and what is the best way to handle this? Chat support seemed not to be very helpful.

  • A line is billable when it becomes usable.  Even if you don't use it.  You are paying for the service to have it in case you want to use it.

    Check your account to be sure you do not in fact have 3 lines of service.
