Q&A

Are you trying to get a Netflix subscription for free? While Netflix no longer offers free trials, service providers usually offer a subscription with their plans as an added bonus. For example, Verizon has offered a 12-month subscription at no charge in the past, and T-Mobile currently offers a basic membership with a valid plan. This wikiHow article covers the popular question about free Netflix trials and shows you how to get Netflix for free or discounted through some common service providers.

How to Get Netflix for Free

Netflix no longer offers a 1-month free trial, but other companies offer packages that include Netflix at no cost. Check with your service providers to see if you have a qualifying plan that includes a Netflix subscription.

Question

Why do I have to pay every month?

Community Answer

It's because they need to make money to stay in business because they have to pay the movie people to get the rights to put the movie on their website.
