Great news for T‑Mobile customers—if you have an Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan, Hulu with ads is now automatically included as a free benefit, along with Netflix. Customers on the new Better Value phone plan and the All‑In Home Internet plan also receive Hulu and Netflix.

T‑Mobile is known for affordable phone and internet service with extensive coverage. Special discounts are available for first responders, military personnel, and people 55 years and older.

Experience Beyond plan highlights

  • Annual device upgrade
  • T‑Satellite access
  • Unlimited premium data and mobile hotspot
  • Up to 4K UHD video streaming
  • Unlimited text and 30 GB high‑speed data in Canada and Mexico (15 GB in 215+ other countries)
  • Optional add‑ons: watch or tablet lines for $5 / month, Apple TV for $3 / month, and now free Netflix and Hulu

Pricing with autopay discount

  • $170 / month for three lines
  • $215 / month for four lines
  • $260 / month for five lines

Each plan includes a five‑year price guarantee. Note: Prices exclude taxes, surcharges, fees, and a device‑connection charge of up to $35 per line (as reported by ZDNET managing editor Alison DeNisco Rayome).

Free Hulu for Go5G Next customers

The free Hulu subscription is also available to Go5G Next customers; Experience Beyond is essentially the rebranded Go5G Next.

A key benefit is that existing T‑Mobile customers can claim the free Hulu account even if they already have a Hulu subscription. You’ll need to cancel your current Hulu subscription and wait until the end of the billing period before redeeming T‑Mobile’s offer. Activate the free Hulu subscription in a few steps via the T‑Life app under the Add‑ons menu.

How I rated this deal

This deal is excellent, especially when you consider the bundle of free Hulu, free Netflix, and $3 Apple TV included in your phone plan. It’s smart to keep an eye on benefits from providers you already use—mobile, internet, and TV. With colder weather encouraging cozy nights indoors, this offer is a great way to boost entertainment at no extra cost.

We’re not sure how long the promotion will last, but it appears to be a longstanding benefit for select T‑Mobile customers (at least for now). Deals can sell out or expire at any time, and ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals. Our team regularly checks the offers we share to ensure they are still live and obtainable.
