T-Mobile just added a 4th free streaming service to its Go5G Next plan
To watch all your favorite shows, you'll likely require subscriptions to multiple streaming services, which can become costly quickly. As more people are canceling subscriptions to save money, T-Mobile makes it possible to keep all your favorite streaming services without actually having to pay for them.
On Wednesday, T-Mobile announced Hulu On Us which adds Hulu (With Ads) to its existing bundle of free complimentary streaming services that includes Netflix, Apple TV+, and free season-long subscriptions to MLB.TV.

To enjoy the complimentary streaming services, all you have to do is be a Go5G Next customer, T-Mobile's top-tier service plan that includes perks such as upgrading once a year, unlimited premium data and talk and text, and 5G access.
The streaming subscriptions, including Hulu's, don't expire, so new and existing customers can simply enjoy streaming as long as they keep their T-Mobile plan at no additional cost.
T-Mobile shares that customers are saving an estimated total of $35 per month, which adds to $400 per year. The Hulu (With Ads) subscription has a $95.88 annual value on its own.

"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," said Mike Katz, President of Marketing, Strategy and Products at T-Mobile.
These free services come at an especially convenient time since, in the past year, several major streaming services have taken action to increase profit by hiking up prices, making advertisement-free watching a premium, and even cracking down on password sharing.
It can also help users decide on whether they want to cut the cord, which many people are opting for to avoid costly cable contracts and equipment, especially streaming payments have become costly.
