T-Mobile has some pretty good deals this weekend

I’m not looking to start (or continue) any arguments about which cell carriers are best; T-Mobile either works for you or it doesn’t.

If TMO works for you, you might want to give them a call or stop by a TMO store this weekend (or use one of those links)… I’m not sure what timezone they are using to end things, but they have several promos running this weekend and you can add free lines (max of two free lines) to an account with two (or more) paid lines.

For me, until earlier today, I had three lines that cost ~$100/month before taxes and discount (which are almost a wash: my monthly total was $99.65). Each line had unlimited talk and text, and 2GB of “high speed data.” I needed more HSD on two of the lines, so I called TMO today to see what I could get.

It turns out that increasing the HSD (to 6GB per line) will increase my bill to $120 (before taxes and discount) but I also added two “free” lines. It is unclear how the discount and taxes will interact, but regardless, my per-line cost is certain to go down, maybe by over $9.

I’m not sure what I’ll do with the two extra lines, but I’m considering either putting a hotspot in my car or else letting the cats have their own phones.

Anyways, you might want to check it out.
