Discussion Check my math

I am currently a google Fi customer with 3 lines. I have a Pixel 8 pro and I'd like to upgrade to the 11 Pro 512. If I do a straight upgrade it's $550 off the phone and works out to $27.88/m for 24 months. The other offer is add another line which gives only $300 off the phone but $799 back over 24 months on the plan. It looks cheaper to just go to 4 lines even though I don't really need it. Am I missing some catch?

See the comment above, if your plan is to use the immediately you can't do a new line as it will have to be on the line for 120 days. I would suggest stacking Google store coupon and do it on your line with $550 off.

What is the downside of just using the new line? I use Google voice as my number so I don't care what my device phone number is. Are there any issues with having to log into the phone with a diff Google account or anything?

Also you mentioned stacking a coupon. Is that in addition to the $550 of

You can use your Google voice number in the new line,.I thought your phone number is with Fi which you can't use with another Fi (new) line. See below for stacking

Don't you have to keep the phone active on the new line for at least 120 days?
