Free Netflix on T-Mobile USA: How Does It Work? [Full Details]
T-Mobile has teamed up with Netflix for its latest attempt to get ahead of its rival carriers. The fruit of this partnership is now officially up and running.
In a new promotion called Netflix On Us, the Un-carrier plan offers customers free subscription to the streaming giant through the T-Mobile One family plans.
Customers with two or more qualifying T-Mobile One family lines are eligible to avail of the offer. With it, they will be able to stream movies and television shows on Netflix without shelling out the extra cash. The fee will remain at $40 per line for a group of four.

Prior to the collaboration, the Netflix plan that allows users to do all that usually costs $9.99 a month, but with Netflix On Us, T-Mobile One family users will not have to worry about that.
They also have the option to upgrade to the premium Netflix plan with 4K and high-dynamic range (HDR) streaming on more than two devices at once. This upgrade usually costs $11.99, but with the promotion, the upgrade will only add the $2 difference in the monthly phone bill.
Decider.com believes that this is a sweet deal overall especially since includes the Family Allowances feature (which is great for setting limits and having full control on the usage for each line) although it might not be worth it for those who plan to add lines just to be able to avail it.
Netflix On Us is now available, having launched on Sept. 12. Qualified customers can enroll through the T-Mobile website, visit a T-Mobile store or call T-Mobile customer support.
Speaking about the Netflix and T-Mobile team-up, the magenta carrier's president and CEO John Legere has this to say:
The future of mobile entertainment is not about bolting a satellite dish to the side of your house or resuscitating faded 90s dotcoms. The future is mobile, over-the-top and unlimited. While the carriers spend billions on their franken-strategies to cobble together carrier–cable–content mashups, the Un-carrier just leapfrogged them all by partnering with the best and giving it to customers at no extra charge. Because that's what we always do. Give more to you without asking more from you.
