T-Mobile Plan May Counterbalance Netflix Price Hike

T-Mobile Plan May Counterbalance Netflix Price Hike

2 Min Read

In March 2026, Netflix introduced a price increase across all its subscription options, representing the second escalation within a span of slightly more than a year. Subscribers are now subjected to an additional fee of one to two dollars monthly, depending on their chosen plan. Nevertheless, T-Mobile users taking advantage of the “Netflix on Us” offer can feel at ease. In spite of the price adjustment, these users will still have access to the Standard with ads Netflix subscription without any added cost. This indicates that T-Mobile will cover the extra $1/month fee for the ad-supported tier, preserving the existing benefit for qualifying users.

For individuals selecting ad-free Netflix options, the revised prices will soon take effect. The Standard with ads tier is now set at $8.99/month, while the Standard and Premium subscriptions are priced at $19.99/month and $26.99/month, respectively. Furthermore, adding additional members to Netflix plans has risen by $1/month, amounting to $7.99/month with ads and $9.99/month without ads. T-Mobile has refreshed its support page to notify subscribers that the new Netflix pricing will be applicable from May 2026. However, the Netflix on Us advantage will persist for eligible plans, protecting users on the ad-supported plan from the price increase. Users who have upgraded to a Standard or Premium Netflix subscription will be notified of the new price in May.

For those thinking about switching to T-Mobile, the Netflix on Us promotion remains available for qualifying plans, including Experience Beyond and Experience More. T-Mobile will keep covering the additional $1/month for the ad-supported Netflix subscription, enabling customers to save $8.99/month. However, those moving to higher-priced tiers will not benefit from the same discount. T-Mobile will subsidize $6.99/month for the Standard or Premium plans, leading to a cost of $13/month for the Standard plan and $20/month for the Premium tier. This option continues to be more budget-friendly compared to acquiring an ad-free subscription directly from Netflix.

Other telecom providers, including Verizon, are also modifying their streaming bundle costs. Verizon’s Netflix and HBO Max (with ads) bundle will rise from $10/month to $13/month starting in May. In spite of the increase, Verizon customers will still save about $7/month compared to subscribing to Netflix and HBO Max individually. Current T-Mobile subscribers contemplating a transition to Verizon may see this bundle as a worthwhile alternative to their existing arrangement.
