New Updates: T-Mobile Introducing Changes to Hulu On Us Benefit

Wireless carriers in the US have been offering digital subscriptions for years as a perk to attract customers. It was a great deal to get a free Netflix subscription with your mobile plan.

Changes have been happening over the years though. Earlier in 2024, T-Mobile switched its ad-free Netflix On Us perk to Netflix Standard with ads, which upset many customers, especially long-time ones. Instead of going back to the ad-free version, T-Mobile decided to offer a Hulu On Us perk with ads added to their free subscriptions.

However, T-Mobile is now planning more changes to this perk for 2025, according to internal documents obtained by The Mobile Report. The documents suggest that the Hulu On Us perk will now be tied to T-Mobile billing. This means that customers who signed up for Hulu through T-Mobile’s On Us perk will need to use T-Mobile as a payment method to keep accessing Hulu with ads.

Unlike the Netflix perk, T-Mobile customers won’t have the option to upgrade to an ad-free version and pay the difference. Customers who also added the Disney+ add-on will need to remove it in order to continue receiving Hulu with ads for free.

Here’s a breakdown of the free perks available to T-Mobile customers:

– Go5G Next: Hulu with Ads, Apple TV+, Netflix Standard with Ads
– Go5G Plus and Magenta MAX: Apple TV+, Netflix Standard with Ads
– Go5G and Magenta: Netflix Standard with Ads
– Essentials and Essentials Saver: None

Customers with grandfathered plans that included Netflix Standard before January 2024 will still have access to Netflix Standard with ads and Hulu with ads.

While these changes are set to go into effect on December 4, existing customers don’t need to take any action until January 7, 2025.
