T-Mobile discontinues fan-favorite perk
By Published: | Updated: T-Mobile customers have been left furious at the end of one of their favorite perks, which was promised to last a 'lifetime.' Customers of the phone provider currently have discounted access to streaming service Philo TV. Philo TV offers its subscribers access to around 70 live channels as well as a DVR which allows customers to record TV shows for up to a year. 'Don't worry, your discount will be applied to your T-Mobile bill instead of your Philo TV bill. The $10/mo credit, for up to 24 months, will appear within 1-2 billing cycles,' the notice explained. Outraged customers pointed out that the discounted bills will only last for a maximum of two more years, despite the initial promise being for as long as 'you remain an active T-Mobile subscriber and Philo customer.' 'So much for "for life". I will be cancelling my Philo service,' one outraged T-Mobile subscriber wrote on Reddit. 'I'm pretty disappointed in Philo and T-Mobile for not honoring this discount for life. What a joke,' another agreed. 'Ouch that is going to suck.... hard to justify Hallmark movies for $20/month,' a third opined. Other customers drew comparisons with an earlier T-Mobile deal that offered YouTube subscriptions at a discount but was later quietly withdrawn. It comes after T-Mobile customers were recently threatened with price hikes as a result of Trump's tariffs. 'If [tariffs] come in and they're significant... that's going to have to be borne by the customer,' CEO Mike Sievert warned in April. Earlier that month the network's app used by parents to track their children's location suffered a terrifying meltdown. The app is paired with a small GPS device, called SyncUP, which fits inside a child's backpack and allows parents to keep an eye on their kids through the T-Life app. Some parents who logged into the app found they could no longer see where their kids were. To make matters worse, parents realized they could see the exact, real-time locations of other random children across the country. Last year T-Mobile also suffered a major outage that saw thousands of customers unable to make calls or send messages for hours. A second major technical failure occurred a month later after four cellular towers were knocked out in Utah.

T-Mobile customers furious as 'lifetime' benefit is phased out: 'I will be cancelling'
T-Mobile customers have been left furious at the end of one of their favorite perks, which was promised to last a 'lifetime.' Customers of the phone provider currently have discounted access to streaming service Philo TV. Philo TV offers its subscribers access to around 70 live channels as well as a DVR which allows customers to record TV shows for up to a year. For years T-Mobile customers have enjoyed a $10 discount on Philo's usual $28-a-month bill. However, the deal will soon be rescinded, and T-Mobile customers are calling out the fine print. 'For current T-Mobile customers, the way your monthly Philo discount appears is changing,' the phone provider wrote in a notice to customers last month. 'Don't worry, your discount will be applied to your T-Mobile bill instead of your Philo TV bill. The $10/mo credit, for up to 24 months, will appear within 1-2 billing cycles,' the notice explained. Outraged customers pointed out that the discounted bills will only last for a maximum of two more years, despite the initial promise being for as long as 'you remain an active T-Mobile subscriber and Philo customer.' 'So much for "for life". I will be cancelling my Philo service,' one outraged T-Mobile subscriber wrote on Reddit.

This lesser-known T-Mobile discount may be on its way out the door eventually
Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR T-Mobile is phasing out its Philo and YouTube TV discount perk, though it might remain available for up to two more years. Customers will now pay Philo directly but receive reimbursement as a T-Mobile account credit. Those affected should monitor future communications from T-Mobile closely, as the offer might end earlier. If you've been with T-Mobile for a while, you might recall that it initially tried to break into the TV market with its TVision service. After less than a year, the service shut down. Before exiting, it offered discounted TV service through either Philo or YouTube TV as an alternative for its subscribers. Unfortunately, it appears that this perk may finally be ending, though the good news is that the change could still be two years away. As first noted by Redditor Shaki8, T-Mobile is sending alerts to customers with the Philo TV discount, indicating it will now cover the service via a credit for up to 24 months rather than paying Philo directly. In short, you'll pay the full Philo bill yourself, but T-Mobile will continue crediting your T-Mobile account. This change isn't too surprising, as T-Mobile initially offered Hulu (with ads) using a similar discount code system that applied directly to your Hulu account, before integrating the perk with T-Mobile billing instead. The difference between Hulu here is that you'll still have to pay for Philo separately, but you'll get a small monthly discount on your T-Mobile bill, though the email notes it may take one to two billing cycles for this to kick in. The 'up to 24 months' phrasing also suggests the offer could technically end sooner, but T-Mobile doesn't provide further details in the email. While it's understandable that T-Mobile is revising the terms and ending the discount after 24 months — especially since it was essentially a farewell gift for TV subscribers — those using the Philo or YouTube TV discount should watch for future notices about upcoming changes.
