Many T-Mobile customers will soon enjoy a significant streaming benefit: free access to Hulu.
The telecom giant has announced that starting January 24, it will be adding complimentary Hulu to its premium plan, known as Go5G Next. This plan will include the ad-supported version of Hulu, not the ad-free option.
Nevertheless, with popular content like The Bear, Only Murders in the Building, Futurama, and The Kardashians, along with next-day access to network shows like Abbott Elementary, Hulu is a substantial addition to T-Mobile’s offerings.
Hulu will join Netflix (the ad-supported tier) and Apple TV+ as part of the plan, giving customers access to three of the largest streaming services at no extra cost.
Additionally, T-Mobile provides access to MLB. TV during the MLB season for plan subscribers. The combined value of these services amounts to $35 per month or $400 per year.
Mobile companies have increasingly become aggressive in bundling streaming video services, aiming to add value to their premium 5G plans.
T-Mobile has been at the forefront with its free streaming offerings.
Similarly, Verizon has offered the Disney Bundle and Apple One (which includes Apple TV+) to some customers, and it has introduced steeply discounted bundles, including a recent Netflix and Max offer, to attract subscribers.
Some AT&T plans also include free access to the Max streaming service.
“As the Un-carrier, we go beyond delivering the incredible service that customers expect from America’s 5G leader,” said Mike Katz, T-Mobile’s president of marketing, strategy, and products, in a statement.
“T-Mobile customers get the best value and the best entertainment streaming bundle in wireless—just for being customers, without having to pay a penny more.
In addition to Apple TV+, Netflix, and MLB.TV, Go5G Next customers now also get a subscription to Hulu… all four on us.
That’s over $400 a year in streaming benefits, from the very best services in the market, all included in your plan at no extra cost.”
