Excited for Stranger Things season 5? I’ve found an easy way to get a free Netflix subscription just in time for the premiere

Stranger Things season 5 is just days away, with Volume 1 arriving on Netflix on November 27. If you're keen to watch the show everyone's talking about, but you don't have a subscription, there's an easy way to get one for free.

If you're a T-Mobile customer or looking to switch, the mobile network is offering its "Netflix on Us" perk, which entitles you to a free Netflix Standard with Ads subscription, usually priced at $7.99 per month.

On top of this, you don't have to be a new Netflix customer to take advantage of T-Mobile's deal, meaning you can swap your current plan and change to Netflix on Us instead.

Over on their FAQs page, T-Mobile clarified that: "T-Mobile pays Netflix directly for you. For customers with an existing Netflix account, it may take one or two Netflix billing cycles for your billing to transfer to T-Mobile."

Netflix does not offer a free trial across any of its plans, so this is a great way to enjoy the best Netflix shows and the best Netflix movies for less.

It's not just Netflix either, as I was impressed to learn that the Experience More and Experience Beyond plans also offer Hulu on Us and Apple TV on Us, so that's three of the best streaming services you can enjoy with your mobile plan.

This is well worth taking advantage of if you're keen to make the most of your mobile plan, and it's perfect timing ahead of the highly anticipated return of Stranger Things.
