T-Mobile gives Apple TV+ to select customers

If you use T-Mobile for your cellphone service, you may have access to a new streaming TV perk that you’ll want to activate.

In a program that began on Aug. 25, T-Mobile customers who have certain versions of the Magenta or Magenta MAX mobile plans are eligible to claim a free year of Apple TV+.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you need to know:

■ This offer has a limit of one redemption per T-Mobile account. But Apple TV+ allows for multiple users on one account, so your entire household should be able to share access to this free plan.

■ Customers must continue eligible T-Mobile service to keep the discount.

■ This promotion comes on the heels of Apple ending a long-standing promotion that offered a free year of Apple TV+ for customers who bought a new Apple device such as the iPhone, iPad or MacBook. T-Mobile says that Apple users who have taken advantage of that free year from Apple directly are still eligible for an additional freebie from T-Mobile. So that means the offers can be stacked, and you could have as much as two free years of the streaming service.

■ Existing Apple TV+ customers can get this free year of service. Once it is applied to your account, the regular monthly billing will be paused (and will resume after your free year is over).

T-Mobile provides the following instructions for claiming this offer on its website:

T-Mobile customers, including T-Mobile for Business customers, can log in to the T-Mobile App or your My.T-Mobile.com account and navigate to Rate Plan Details. You can then click the “one year of Apple TV+ on us” banner, read and accept Terms & Conditions and then click to redeem the offer.

T-Mobile customers still on the Sprint billing system or logging into a Sprint account can redeem by visiting this page: www.promotions.t-mobile.com/ and entering the promo code 2021APPLETVP1 into the redemption field. After successful submission, you will see a direct link on the screen that will redirect you to redeem the offer.

If you decide to take T-Mobile up on this freebie, be sure to set yourself a reminder on your calendar to cancel the Apple TV+ service at the end of the free year.
