If you've been on the fence about switching wireless carriers, T-Mobile just made the decision a whole lot easier—and a lot more entertaining. The magenta giant is now offering new customers free subscriptions to both Netflix and Hulu, effectively bundling two of the biggest streaming services into your monthly plan at no extra cost.
This isn't just a trial or a limited-time perk. According to the details, eligible new T-Mobile customers can get ad-supported tiers of both Netflix and Hulu included with their wireless service. That means you can binge Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 on Netflix or catch up on Hulu originals without reaching for your wallet each month.
What's Included in the T-Mobile Streaming Bundle?
The promotion covers the standard ad-supported plans for both platforms. For Netflix, that's the "Standard with Ads" tier, which gives you access to most of the library—including popular originals like the best Netflix miniseries and upcoming releases like Daryl Dixon's final season. Hulu's ad-supported plan is also included, offering thousands of TV episodes, movies, and originals.
It's worth noting that these are the ad-supported versions, so you'll still see commercials. But for the price of free, that's a trade-off many streamers are happy to make. If you want to upgrade to ad-free tiers, you'll likely need to pay the difference out of pocket.
How to Get the Deal
To take advantage of this offer, you'll need to be a new T-Mobile customer signing up for a qualifying postpaid plan. Existing customers may not be eligible unless they add a new line or switch from another carrier. Once you're activated, T-Mobile will provide instructions on how to link your Netflix and Hulu accounts—or create new ones—to start streaming immediately.
This move is a clear play by T-Mobile to attract cord-cutters and streaming enthusiasts who are tired of juggling multiple subscription bills. With Netflix and Hulu combined, you're looking at a savings of roughly $15–$20 per month, depending on the plans you'd otherwise pay for separately.
Why This Matters for Streamers
Streaming costs have been climbing steadily, with nearly every major service raising prices or cracking down on password sharing. T-Mobile's offer provides a welcome relief for budget-conscious viewers. It also positions the carrier as a one-stop shop for entertainment, similar to how some cable companies used to bundle premium channels.
For fans of Netflix, this means you can dive into everything from cozy dramas to 3 Body Problem Season 2 without worrying about the monthly bill. Hulu subscribers, meanwhile, get access to next-day TV, original series, and a deep library of films.
As streaming wars heat up, bundling is becoming the new normal. T-Mobile's offer is one of the most generous yet, and it's likely to put pressure on competitors like Verizon and AT&T to match or beat it. For now, if you're in the market for a new phone plan, free Netflix and Hulu might be the perk that seals the deal.
