With multiple popular streaming services passing $12/month each, your entertainment budget can add up quickly. Luckily, we’ve found the best phone plans with free streaming perks to help you save. Depending on which carrier you choose, you get free access to different streaming platforms.
T-Mobile includes Netflix, Apple TV+, and Hulu with its Experience plans, while Verizon offers discounted bundle packs. If you want HBO Max, check out Cricket Wireless since it’s the only prepaid carrier to include it with its top unlimited plan.
Selecting the right plan can eliminate multiple monthly streaming bills while keeping your favorite content. Let's dive into which carriers offer the best streaming perks to help you save your money and stop paying for streaming subscriptions.
Family night with T-Mobile just got better
T-Mobile is excellent for families. As with all major carriers, the price per line drops significantly when you add more users. For example, the cost per line for two people is much higher than the cost per line for four people on the same plan.
This multi-line discount, combined with the free streaming services, helps you save every month without sacrificing the perks you love.

T-Mobile Magenta Status perks
T-Mobile hits a home run for baseball fans with its free annual MLB.TV subscription through the T-Mobile Tuesdays perks in the T-Life app. This gives you access to out-of-market regular-season games, a service that typically costs over $150 per year. It's a straightforward, high-value perk that delivers significant savings for sports viewers on their wireless plan.
Verizon's MyPlan perks offer customized streaming savings
Verizon’s streaming deals are customizable, offering discounted bundles with its myPlan structure. Instead of simply including services, Verizon offers premium subscriptions that you can add to a postpaid unlimited plan for only $10 per perk.
The choice is yours. Pick the Verizon bundle streaming perks you actually watch. Plus, each perk is cheaper than paying for the services directly.
Verizon's best $10 streaming perks:
- Disney Bundle: Includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ (all with ads). Buying this bundle directly costs $19.99/month, so you save $10/month with Verizon as an add-on.
- Netflix & HBO Max (bundle): You can get both Netflix Standard with Ads and HBO HBO Max Basic with Ads bundled together for just $10/month. Subscribing separately would run you $19/month in total, meaning you pay half price with Verizon.
- Apple One: Access the full Apple suite—Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+—for a heavily discounted price of $15/month for the Individual plan.
- Other perks: Verizon also offers discounted perks for Apple Music, YouTube Premium, and various cloud storage and travel benefits.

I tested Cricket Wireless for a month and fell in love with its service. Its Supreme Unlimited plan includes unlimited premium data, top coverage, international data, and 50GB of hotspot data. The fact that you can get HBO Max for free with its Supreme plan is the icing on the cake.
If you want a plan that has it all (plus the best shows from HBO), Cricket Wireless is the way to go.

Fellow staff writer Max McCaskill put US Mobile to the test for a month. He ultimately decided, "The Unlimited Premium plan is US Mobile's top-tier option and one of the best values we've found from an MVNO."
You can Teleport (switch networks for better coverage), and you get to enjoy truly unlimited data. Add on your choice of perks, and US Mobile is one of the most affordable carriers with impressive benefits to boot.

US Mobile and Verizon perks compared
The choice between US Mobile and Verizon's streaming perks depends on your household size. US Mobile offers $15 monthly credits for services like Netflix or Max, but it requires three or more lines on their Unlimited Premium plan to qualify.
Verizon lets you add perks like the Disney Bundle or Apple One to any plan for $10/month each, available even with a single line. You pay extra, but gain flexibility immediately.
For families of three or more, US Mobile is the better value. For individuals or smaller groups, Verizon provides straightforward, customizable options from the start.Total Wireless offers free Disney+ Premium
As an MVNO operating on the Verizon network, Total Wireless is the only carrier to offer a Premium subscription with its top-tier plan. Going a step further than most carriers, Total Wireless includes the ad-free tier of Disney+.
Customers who sign up for the Total 5G+ Unlimited plan receive Disney+ Premium (no ads) for free. This perk is ideal because it’s ad-free, so your favorite shows won’t be interrupted with annoying commercials. Normally, the premium version costs $18.99/month, but you can get it free of charge with Total Wireless.
Total Wireless’ top perk:
- Disney+ Premium (Ad-Free): Included at no cost with the top-tier Unlimited plan, giving you the best version of Disney+, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars content without interruptions.

Which carrier offers the best streaming perks?
The right carrier for streaming perks depends on what matters most for your household:
- T-Mobile gives you the most for your money if you want multiple streaming services. Their plans include Netflix, Apple TV+, and Hulu, so you get significant savings without paying extra each month.
- US Mobile works best for families looking to save. With three or more lines, you can choose streaming perks like the Disney Bundle or Netflix and have the cost covered on their already affordable family plans.
- Verizon is ideal if you prefer to pick your own perks. For $10/month each, you can add services like Disney+ or Apple One to any plan, paying only for what you actually watch.
Before you switch, check the coverage in your area and, most importantly, calculate your current monthly streaming costs. That cost is essentially your guaranteed savings when you switch to a plan that includes your favorites.
