Having two mobile numbers can be convenient for many people, but carrying two smartphones can be a hassle. T-Mobile understands this dilemma and already offers the DIGITS service, allowing you to have two lines on the same phone. However, the carrier is now testing a new way to add a second line to your handset, as reported by The Mobile Report.

Here’s what you need to know about T-Mobile’s new second-line plan:

– The second line provides unlimited talk and text, but no data.
– Your phone must support dual SIM functionality, with at least one SIM being an eSIM.
– The base price for the second line is $25, but discounts are available.
– A “Hybrid BAN” discount can bring the price down to $15, and most customers are eligible for it.
– If you haven’t maxed out your autopay discount, an additional $5 reduction can lower the monthly rate to $10.

Compared to DIGITS, T-Mobile’s new second-line plan offers a more straightforward and convenient way to have an extra number for work or business. Unlike DIGITS, this new option does not require downloading an app and does not include data on the second line.

Although similar to DIGITS in some aspects, T-Mobile’s new plan may signal a rebranding or replacement of the existing service. Currently in a test pilot phase, the new second-line plan is being tested in Seattle and South Florida. Most postpaid customers are eligible for it, but access may be limited even in test markets.

If you live in one of the eligible locations and have a compatible phone, you can contact customer support or visit a store to add a new line to your device. Keep an eye out for further updates as T-Mobile continues to innovate its services for customers’ convenience.
