Best Streaming Service Deals From Verizon, T-Mobile and More [CNET]

Some cellphone plans include free or discounted streaming services.

Before Verizon refreshed its unlimited offerings last year, the main way to get a streaming service as a perk was through an unlimited plan that included it at no additional cost. Verizon shook up its perks system, and now customers on Unlimited Welcome, Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Ultimate plans can choose from a variety of $10 a month benefits. Home internet customers can also get in on the streaming service savings. 

The perks available include the Disney Bundle (Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus), the duo of ad-supported Max and Netflix, Apple One with Apple TV Plus included and a Walmart Plus membership with ad-supported Paramount Plus included. 

All of Verizon’s perks are a flat $10 and each line on an unlimited plan that qualifies can pick as many of them as they want. Ad-based Max and Netflix, in comparison, typically run $17 combined. An Apple One Individual plan costs $20 per month, and Walmart Plus costs $13 a month. 

The Disney Bundle Verizon provides differs from Disney’s current options. Usually, the combo of ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus costs $15 a month and the bundle of ad-free Disney Plus, ad-free Hulu and ad-supported Disney Plus costs $25 a month. The Verizon bundle at $10 includes ad-free Disney Plus, ad-supported Hulu and ad-supported ESPN Plus.

While you’ll need to have an eligible plan to pick $10 perks, there are opportunities to mix and match phone lines and even keep some older plan lines. Currently, if you have at least one Unlimited Plus or Unlimited Ultimate line, you can also get the Disney Bundle for free for six months. You can view more potential Verizon perks (not all of them pertain to TV and movie streaming) on Verizon’s site.
