Are you trying to get a Netflix subscription for free? While Netflix no longer offers free trials, service providers usually offer a subscription with their plans as an added bonus. For example, Verizon has offered a 12-month subscription at no charge in the past, and T-Mobile currently offers a basic membership with a valid plan. This wikiHow article covers the popular question about free Netflix trials and shows you how to get Netflix for free or discounted through some common service providers.
How to Get Netflix for Free
Netflix no longer offers a 1-month free trial, but other companies offer packages that include Netflix at no cost. Check with your service providers to see if you have a qualifying plan that includes a Netflix subscription.

Netflix no longer offers a 1-month free trial[1]. While offered in the past, this promotion no longer exists. Some companies and providers offer a package that may include a Netflix subscription. Verizon has offered a 12-month Netflix subscription promotion in the past, but it has since expired.[2] T-Mobile offers Netflix On Us, which includes a Netflix subscription along with a phone plan at no extra cost.
- Keep an eye out for other deals and promotions linked to services you already own or plan to purchase.
- Currently, a Basic subscription with ads costs $6.99/month. Unlike Amazon Prime, Netflix does not offer a discounted student subscription.[3]
- You can always share Netflix with a friend, watch movies on FaceTime, or even stream Netflix to watch together.

T-Mobile. Most Go5G, Magenta, and Magenta Max plans with T-Mobile allow you to add a Standard or Basic Netflix account for free. If you have a qualifying plan (it will be outlined in your plan details), log into your account online or in the app, then go to Account > Add-ons > Manage Data & Add-ons > Services, and select Netflix.[4]

Verizon. If you subscribe to Max for $10/mo, you can get Netflix for free. You can add this bundle to your Verizon bill as long as you have Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus, or Unlimited Ultimate.[5]
3
Xfinity. Some Comcast Xfinity customers can purchase a subscription bundle that includes Netflix for free. This is only available in specific markets, so not every Xfinity customer can get this bundle.
- You should see the Netflix bundle on your bill if you're able to get it.[6]

Question
Why do I have to pay every month?
Community Answer
It's because they need to make money to stay in business because they have to pay the movie people to get the rights to put the movie on their website.
