According to The Mobile Report, a T-Mobile employee found eight new account-level codes in the carrier's internal systems. Most end in "OUA", which the report believes means "On Us Add-on", the label T-Mobile uses for included perks. If they launch, customers could pick a free subscription rather than getting a fixed set.
The eight perks in the leak
- Apple Music
- YouTube, possibly YouTube Premium with YouTube Music
- SiriusXM
- Paramount+
- ESPN+
- Xbox Game Pass, tier unknown
- Google AI
- DashPass, which may replace the free annual DashPass on T-Mobile Tuesdays
Music streaming would be new as a standing T-Mobile perk. In the past it has only offered short music trials through T-Mobile Tuesdays.
What T-Mobile includes today
On select plans, T-Mobile currently includes Netflix Standard with ads and Hulu, and offers Apple TV for $3 a month.
When it could launch
The Mobile Report first expected an announcement on September 23, then said it had been pushed back, likely to early October. It later reported that T-Mobile's next big announcement isn't about perks, so the timing is unclear.
If you're choosing a T-Mobile plan now, don't pay for a higher tier on the promise of these perks. Pick the plan that fits your data and price, and treat any new perk as a bonus.
Which perks come with which plans, and whether they justify the price.
