Netflix limiting to one household.
I've been with T-mobile since they acquired Suncom in 2007. We have 7 devices on our plan (6 phones and a watch). Our plan was the first to offer free netflix and we're on that same plan to this day...

Netflix is verifying log ins now. I recently signed into one of my TV's in my house and got hit with it but verified it.
From what I read is that Netflix will charge $7.99 for out of network sign ins.
The $7.99 is for direct Netflix accounts, not Netflix through third parties, such as T-Moble. The following is a copy and paste from the Netflix website. (I added the underline)
The account owner will need to purchase an extra member slot, then invite an extra member to use the extra member slot. The extra member must be activated in the same country where the account owner created their account. Extra members cannot be added to Netflix-included packages or third-party billed accounts.
T-Mobile only handles the billing. Instead of you being billed by Netflix, Netflix bills T-Mobile.
Why not be able to add a member to your plan (like you could if you had a regular Netflix account) and T-Mobile charge that extra cost also.
If you view your account details in Netflix, there is no Add Extra Members option. That option is only available for standard Netflix accounts, not third-party billed Netflix accounts like T-Mobile. This is a Netflix policy and there is nothing T-Mobile can do about it.
When you sign up for a Netflix on Us promotion, T-Mobile is not creating your Netflix account. You are redirected to the Netflix site to create an account that is billed to T-Mobile instead of yourself.
T-Mobile does nothing more than pay your Netflix bill. They can't change Netflix policies regarding account sharing or adding additional memberships.
