Mobile wireless carrier provider T-Mobile has announced that it will offer a $100 discount this Yuletide holiday for several high-end Samsung smartphones such as Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+. Aside from this, the company will also offer a one-year subscription to the movie streaming service Netflix for buyers any of the devices, a report from Digital Trends said on Thursday.
According to the report, T-Mobile's existing Simple Choice subscribers and customers who are planning to subscribe by opening a new line are all eligible to receive the discounts. Interested customers can check the promo via the carrier's official website.
"Unfortunately, the deal is only available if you'll be getting the phones through T-Mobile's equipment installment plan. However, if you're looking for an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S6, you can currently get one from eBay for just $399 (32GB model). The free one-year subscription to Netflix might be the perfect incentive to jump on T-Mobile's Binge On video streaming plans, one that plan will disregard video streaming from your total data allowance. The $100 discount is valid through December 23th but the free Netflix subscription will be offered with any Galaxy S6 / Note 5 purchase made by the end of the year. Also, it's worth mentioning that existing Netflix customers will get a 12-month account credit," Phone Arena reports.
Meanwhile, Android Central reports that T-Mobile's Binge On has been criticized by net neutrality groups because they claim that the program is selective in terms of the particular service that should be implemented first. Other services are reportedly arbitrarily neglected.
However, the company has denied the claimed of the group, saying that the company does not limit the partners who wants to join in Binge. For his part, Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler said that he agreed with T-Mobile's explanation and concluded that the service is "pro-innovation and pro-competition."
