T-Mobile customers on qualifying plans can activate the free "Netflix On Us" benefit by linking their T-Mobile and Netflix accounts through the T-Life app or My.T-Mobile website.
What is T-Mobile Netflix On Us?
T-Mobile Netflix On Us is a benefit that includes a Netflix Standard with Ads subscription at no extra cost for customers on qualifying plans. The subscription is paid directly by T-Mobile, and you can upgrade to Standard or Premium for a discounted rate, with the price difference added to your T-Mobile bill. This is one of the most popular T-Mobile streaming benefits, giving you access to Netflix without an additional monthly charge.
Eligible T-Mobile plans for Netflix On Us
Qualifying plans typically include Go5G, Magenta, Go5G Plus, Magenta MAX, Experience More 2.0, Experience Beyond 2.0, Experience More, Experience Beyond, Go5G Next, and similar plans. T-Mobile Magenta plans with two or more lines and Magenta Max plans include Netflix on Us. For Go5G or Magenta plans, two or more voice lines are usually required. Other eligible plans may qualify with one or more lines. If you are not on a qualifying plan, you can still choose to bill your Netflix subscription through T-Mobile by enrolling and activating the link. You can upgrade your T-Mobile plan to include Netflix if your current plan does not qualify.

Linking an existing Netflix account to T-Mobile billing
If you already have a Netflix account, you can link it to your T-Mobile plan to take advantage of the Netflix on Us promotion. You must still complete the activation process to transfer billing to T-Mobile. During activation, sign in with your existing Netflix credentials. T-Mobile pays Netflix directly for the included subscription, and any upgrade fees are added to your T-Mobile bill. Your existing viewing history, profiles, and preferences carry over.
Upgrading your Netflix plan through T-Mobile
You can upgrade from the included Netflix Standard with Ads to Netflix Standard or Netflix Premium for a discounted rate. The difference in price appears on your T-Mobile bill each month. To upgrade, go back to the streaming benefit section in the T-Life app or My.T-Mobile and select the plan you want.
Troubleshooting Netflix On Us issues
Account linking errors. Make sure you are logged into the correct T-Mobile account. Clear your browser cache and cookies or try the linking process from a different device or browser.
Verification delays. If your eligibility confirmation takes longer than expected, contact T-Mobile customer support for status updates.
Plan compatibility problems. Review your T-Mobile plan details to confirm it includes the Netflix offering. Contact T-Mobile support if your plan should qualify but does not show the benefit.
Netflix error messages. Check for service notifications or outage alerts from Netflix. Ensure your T-Mobile plan is active and in good standing, as payment interruptions can affect access.
Reauthentication requirements. If prompted to reauthenticate your T-Mobile subscription with Netflix, follow the provided instructions carefully to restore seamless access.
What happens when you cancel your T-Mobile line
If you terminate your qualifying T-Mobile line, T-Mobile stops being your Netflix payment method. Netflix will automatically resume charging any existing payment method you have on file, so your viewing continues uninterrupted.
