Here’s How T-Mobile Customers Can Get Free Netflix
T-Mobile customers are going to get some free video streaming perks if they have the right plan. The wireless carrier’s latest promotion is offering current T-Mobile ONE customers with two or more lines a free standard Netflix subscription, even if you’re already a Netflix subscriber.
T-Mobile will pay your Netflix bill
Starting September 12, you can visit the T-Mobile website, head to a retail store, or call customer service to link your T-Mobile and Netflix account if you already have one. If you don’t have a Netflix account, T-Mobile will provide instructions on how to link your existing T-Mobile account and your new Netflix account after you sign up for the Netflix On Us promotion.
T-Mobile ONE customers who signed up for a previous version of the plan that excludes taxes and fees will be required to upgrade to the newer version of T-Mobile’s ONE plan, which includes taxes and fees in its monthly price. The current price for two lines on T-Mobile’s ONE plan is per line and will drop to $ 40 per line when you add two more lines.
The Netflix On Us promotion covers the cost of a standard $ 10 Netflix subscription, which offers HD streaming, offline viewing, and support for up to two simultaneous streams. T-Mobile will process subscription payments through your Netflix account, although it may take up to two billing cycles to take effect. If you’re a fan of 4K content, you can upgrade to Netflix’s premium plan for $ 12 a month, with the $ 2 difference being charged to your T-Mobile account.
An annoying plan upgrade may be required for HD streaming
While free Netflix streaming is a good perk to include on your phone plan, T-Mobile’s data usage guidelines make it difficult to enjoy the experience unless you’re near a Wi-Fi signal. Streaming video over LTE using the standard T-Mobile ONE plan drops the quality down to 480p, which is far from the promised high definition content (fine print, am I right?).
Want to stream 1080p videos to your phone? You’ll need to shell out an extra $ 10 for the T-Mobile ONE Plus plan, which includes unlimited HD streaming, unlimited hotspot use, and unlimited Wi-Fi while in flight on Gogo-enabled flights. You can always get around the quality limits by preloading the shows you plan to watch on your iOS or Android device, but with another $ 10 add-on to your HD streaming account anywhere it degrades somewhat. The “free” Netflix thing if you ask me.
