BEST OVERALL FOR STREAMING

T-Mobile

T-Mobile makes perhaps the strongest case for consolidating your phone and streaming bills, offering Netflix and Hulu at no additional cost on its top-tier Experience Beyond 2.0 plan, along with discounted access to Apple TV.

The carrier’s Netflix On Us benefit includes Netflix Standard with ads, giving subscribers access to the platform’s catalog of original series, films and licensed programming. Customers on Experience Beyond 2.0 also receive Hulu With Ads, which includes next-day programming from ABC and FX, Hulu originals and an extensive library of television and movies.

Apple TV is available for an additional $3 per month on both Experience Beyond 2.0 and Experience More 2.0, with access to hits such as “Severance,” “Ted Lasso” and “The Morning Show.”

Experience Beyond 2.0 starts at $100 per month for one line with AutoPay, before taxes and fees, and includes unlimited talk, text and 5G data, along with 250GB of high-speed mobile hotspot data. The cheaper Experience More 2.0 plan starts at $85 per month with AutoPay and includes Netflix Standard with ads and the discounted Apple TV offer, but not complimentary Hulu.

Best of all, the carrier’s T-Mobile Tuesdays program regularly offers discounts on movie tickets, dining and other entertainment, while certain legacy plans remain eligible for streaming benefits of their own.

Starting price: $85/month for Experience More 2.0; $100/month for Experience Beyond 2.0, with AutoPay, for one line
