      Oh you aren’t getting it for free. You just pay for it to T-mobile, instead of directly to Netflix. Never yet heard of a company, that offers actual freebies. You just pay for it in the price of the other thing you are paying them for.

      Buy glasses, get second pair for free… … … you pay price of two for one pair and aren’t just very well aware how cheap eye glasses are to make these days.

        Yep yep, I understand this. I just can’t negotiate with T-Mobile pricing do I already knew I’m technically paying for Netflix. But I’m not gonna be able to reduce my T-Mobile bill monthly if I refuse the Netflix so I’m just pretending it’s free as long as I’m not paying “extra”.

          T-Mobile offer cheaper plans without Netflix. Plans that still have all the unlimited data/calling of the Netflix plan. We pay $100 fir two line with them. If I wanted to go to the cheapest plan with Netflix, it would cost me $120 a month…i.e. it’s cheaper for me to stay on my no Netflix plan and pay for Netflix separately.
