T-Mobile includes the Paramount+ Essential plan at no extra cost for its home internet customers on the All-In plan. The 2021 promotion, which gave a free year to every phone customer, has ended. The offer exists only in the United States, where the company operates. Here is who qualifies, how to activate it and what it includes.
What changed between T-Mobile and Paramount+
| 2021 promotion | Current benefit | |
|---|---|---|
| Who qualified | Postpaid phone and home internet customers on any plan | Customers on the All-In home internet plan |
| Duration | 12 months | For as long as the plan is kept |
| Paramount+ plan | Essential | Essential |
Many guides still repeat that every T-Mobile customer gets a free year. That refers to the old promotion.
How to activate Paramount+ with T-Mobile
The steps, according to T-Mobile's support page:
- Open the T-Life app and go to the section for managing add-ons.
- Select the All-In home internet line, not a phone line.
- Choose the Paramount+ ON US option among the account services.
- Accept the terms and create a Paramount+ account, or link one you already have.
If you already pay for Paramount+ yourself, you must cancel that subscription first. If you pay through a third party, you may have to wait until the end of the billing period.

No. The benefit is tied to a home internet plan that T-Mobile sells only in the United States. Elsewhere, Paramount+ is contracted directly or through the local carriers and platforms that offer it in each country.
