T-Mobile’s Netflix On Us is one of the best perks available to wireless customers today, but getting set up can be a bit confusing at first. Let me walk you through exactly how to score free Netflix through your T-Mobile plan.
Which T-Mobile Plans Include Free Netflix?
To get Netflix included, you’ll need to have either a Magenta or Magenta MAX family plan with at least two lines. Single-line plans unfortunately don’t qualify. The standard Magenta plan includes the Netflix Basic plan (standard definition, one screen), while Magenta MAX customers get Netflix Standard (HD, two screens).
How to Activate Your Free Netflix
Getting your free Netflix up and running is pretty straightforward:
– Log into your T-Mobile account
– Look for the “Netflix On Us” section in your plan benefits
– Click to activate the benefit
– You’ll be redirected to Netflix to either create a new account or link your existing one
– Follow the prompts to complete setup
Already Have Netflix? Here’s What to Do
If you’re already a Netflix subscriber, don’t worry – you can still take advantage of this perk. When linking your existing account, T-Mobile will take over the billing. Just make sure to cancel any separate Netflix billing to avoid getting charged twice.
Important Things to Know
There are a few key details to keep in mind:
– You need to maintain eligible T-Mobile service to keep the Netflix benefit
– If you want to upgrade to a premium Netflix plan, you just pay the difference
– The primary account holder needs to activate Netflix On Us
– You can’t combine this with other Netflix promotions
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes the activation process hits a snag. If you’re having trouble:
– Make sure your T-Mobile account is in good standing
– Verify you have an eligible plan with at least two lines
– Try logging out and back in to both T-Mobile and Netflix
– Contact T-Mobile support if issues persist
I’ve helped many friends get set up with this benefit, and while there can be minor hiccups, it’s absolutely worth taking advantage of. Free Netflix saves you $8.99-$15.49 per month depending on your plan. Just remember that if you ever leave T-Mobile, you’ll need to take over the Netflix billing yourself to keep your account active.
