T-Mobile Netflix on Us is a benefit that gives eligible T-Mobile customers a free Netflix subscription as part of their plan, with no extra monthly charge. To get this offer, you need a qualifying plan and must activate it through the T-Life app or My T-Mobile by linking your T-Mobile account to a Netflix account.
What is T-Mobile Netflix on Us?
T-Mobile Netflix on Us is a plan benefit that lets eligible accounts add a Netflix service through T-Mobile and then link that service to an existing or new Netflix account. The available Netflix plan tier depends on your T-Mobile package, with options including Standard with ads, Standard, or Premium when those choices are available on your account. This benefit is one of several T-Mobile streaming benefits designed to give customers more value from their wireless service.
Which T-Mobile plans qualify for Netflix on Us?
Current qualifying plan combinations include two or more Go5G or Magenta voice lines, or one or more Experience More, Experience Beyond, Go5G Next, Go5G Plus, or Magenta MAX voice lines. Magenta plans include scam-blocking protection, international texting, data, and unlimited talk, text, and data in Mexico and Canada, and the T-Mobile Tuesdays app as a plan perk. Magenta has 3 GB of 4G LTE hotspot and costs $35/line, while Magenta Plus has 20 GB of 4G LTE hotspot and costs $43/line. The Magenta Military plan requires verification of military status to be eligible, and the Magenta Plus Unlimited 55 plan is for those aged 55 and above. If you have one of these plans, you can get free streaming with T-Mobile by activating the Netflix benefit. The specific Netflix plan tier you receive depends on your T-Mobile package, and you can choose among Standard with ads, Standard, or Premium during activation when those options are available on your account.
How to activate Netflix on Us in the T-Life app
The primary way to activate this benefit is through the T-Life app on your mobile device. Follow these steps:
- Open the T-Life app on your phone.
- Tap Manage, then See plans, then Manage add-ons.
- Scroll to the streaming benefit you want and tap Continue.
- Follow the prompts to link an existing Netflix account or create a new one and link it to your T-Mobile account.
Netflix also provides an alternative path within the T-Life app: tap Benefits > Entertainment > Netflix tile > Account-level services > choose a Netflix service > Continue > Activate new services > Start activation.
How to activate Netflix on Us through My T-Mobile
If you prefer to use a web browser instead of the app, you can activate through My T-Mobile:
- Sign in to My T-Mobile on your computer or mobile browser.
- Select Manage add-ons.
- On the Manage data and add-ons page, go to the Services section.
- Add Netflix by selecting the option and following the prompts.
On the web, Netflix also says to sign in at T-Mobile, select Manage Add-ons, scroll to Line-Level Services, choose a Netflix option, check the box, click Continue, accept the terms, then click Activate.
What to do if you already have a Netflix account
If you already have a Netflix account, you can link it during activation instead of creating a new one. During the activation steps in either the T-Life app or My T-Mobile, simply choose the option to link an existing account and sign in with your Netflix credentials. If you run into issues specific to your Netflix account, such as billing or login problems, contact Netflix directly for support rather than T-Mobile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my Netflix plan tier after activation?
Yes, you can change your Netflix plan tier after activation, but the available options depend on your T-Mobile package. You manage these changes through your T-Mobile account settings, not through Netflix directly.
What happens to my Netflix on Us if I switch to a non-qualifying plan?
If you switch to a T-Mobile plan that does not qualify for Netflix on Us, you will lose the benefit and your Netflix subscription will no longer be covered by T-Mobile. You can then choose to pay for Netflix directly through Netflix.
Does Netflix on Us work with T-Mobile prepaid plans?
No, Netflix on Us is only available for qualifying postpaid T-Mobile voice lines. Prepaid plans, including T-Mobile prepaid and Metro by T-Mobile, are not eligible for this benefit. Other carriers offer free streaming services, such as Hulu with Sprint, Amazon Prime with Metro, HBO with AT&T, and Disney+ with Verizon.
How many Netflix accounts can I have on one T-Mobile account?
Only one Netflix account can be linked to a single T-Mobile account through Netflix on Us. The benefit covers one Netflix subscription per eligible T-Mobile account.
