To activate Paramount Plus with T-Mobile, redeem the offer through your T-Mobile account and then complete registration on the Paramount+ website. This process links your T-Mobile plan to a free year of Paramount+ Essential, the ad-supported plan, as part of your T-Mobile streaming benefits.
Check your T-Mobile plan eligibility for Paramount+
Before you begin, confirm your plan qualifies. The offer is available to new and existing T-Mobile and Sprint postpaid wireless customers on any consumer plan, as well as T-Mobile Home Internet customers. You must have a T-Mobile ID and be the Primary Account Holder (PAH) or an Authorized User to activate.
Ineligible plans include Prepaid, Mobile Internet only (tablets, laptops, hotspots, watches), businesses with more than 12 voice lines, Government accounts, Puerto Rico accounts, and Metro by T-Mobile customers.
Before you activate: cancel any existing Paramount+ subscription
If you already have a Paramount+ subscription billed directly to you, you must cancel it first. After canceling, wait until the end of your current billing cycle before attempting to redeem the T-Mobile offer. Trying to activate while an active direct subscription exists will prevent the offer from applying.

What to expect after activation and how to avoid charges

To avoid being charged, you must cancel the subscription before renewal. For T-Mobile Home Internet customers, there is a limit of one claim per eligible line and a maximum of two claims per account. Paramount+ can be added and used on Android, iOS, smart TVs, or game consoles.

What happens if I switch T-Mobile plans during the 12-month promotion?
If you move to an ineligible plan (such as Prepaid or a business plan with more than 12 lines), you may lose access to the Paramount+ benefit. Contact T-Mobile support to understand how a plan change affects your active subscription.

Each eligible voice line on a postpaid consumer plan can claim the offer. For Home Internet, the limit is one claim per eligible line, with a maximum of two claims per account total.
Why did I receive a charge after the first year?
The 12-month promotional period is free. After it ends, Paramount+ Essential automatically renews at the standard monthly rate. You must cancel the subscription before the renewal date to avoid being charged.
Do I need a separate Paramount+ account for each line?
No. Each activation on a different line can use the same Paramount+ account, or you can create separate accounts. The offer is linked to the T-Mobile line, not the Paramount+ login.
