T-Mobile bundles Netflix subscription with unlimited One family plans
T-Mobile has announced that starting Sept. 12, people subscribed to the company's unlimited One family plans will get access to Netflix for free, in a twist that could be meant to lure "iPhone 8" buyers.
Subscribers must have a One plan with at least two paid voice lines, which costs $120 per month. Plans with three and four lines are $140 and $160, respectively.
The "Netflix On Us" promotion covers the cost of a standard $9.99 Netflix subscription, which supports regular HD resolutions and simultaneous streaming on two devices. If a person already has a Netflix account, billing will switch to T-Mobile -- people wanting 4K, four-screen streaming will have to pay the price difference.
Apple is expected to announce three new iPhones at a Sept. 12 press event: the OLED-based "iPhone 8", and the LCD-equipped "iPhone 7s" and "7s Plus." Recent rumors have suggested that the "7s" devices will actually be called the "8" and "8 Plus," making the OLED model the "X" or "8 Edition."
Carriers will often launch promotions in parallel with new flagship iPhones, hoping to attract switchers, or become the carrier of choice for first-time smartphone buyers. Typically though these promotions involve discounts on devices or data plans.

Keep in mind the Kick Back, which saves you $10 per line that uses less than 5 Gigs data. It ends up costing me $110 because my wife has low data usage (she only uses her phone to stream music all day - which T-Mobile don't count as data usage).
This saves me about $120 a year I pay for Netflix and I have great coverage and the fastest LTE.
Two lines get an extra 2GB of data for $10 each. (which run out almost every month)
One line uses barely any data so we'll save $10 with Kick Back.
$10 off on my ceaseless Netflix subscription.
$10 more for unlimited data on all lines, not bad.
Just moved all of the phones to Xfinity: Me Unlimited, wife 1GB, kids 0GB, all come with free voice/text: $45 + $12 and kids are free = $57/mo + no fee. No brainer!
I do do look at Verizon from time to time because they are the overall superior network AND their costs have really come down but not quite enough.......yet.
