On AA, the "free one hour for TMO subscribers" through their app doesn't actually check to see if you're using a TMO SIM. It only checks the phone number against their customer list.

After burning up the first free hour I switch to my wife's number, then my kids, etc. It never complains.

You can literally bump the last digit of any T-Mobile number (:

Yeah that should work...for a while. Eventually numbers get ported out and the space fragments. Area codes don't mean much anymore.
