That list of supported devices doesn't appear to be comprehensive. If your phone can do Wi-Fi Calls, it's likely you can make use of this offer.
I was even able to use it on a Verizon iPhone last weekend on an AA flight--the welcome page sat around for a bit and then asked me for my T-Mobile number. I entered the number of my prepaid backup phone (on a really, really old 10c/min, 5c/SMS, no data plan with T-Mo) and it let me right in. I got my hour of free internet, and I was able to send messages on Hangouts and Facebook Messenger for the rest of the flight.

Were you using a smartphone? The link doesn't show up on tablets or laptops.
