T-Mobile provided Hulu - can users pay gor no ads?

Hulu is also coming on Jan 24th with Ads. This stinks… The current Ad Free Standard Netflix is valued at  $15.49 per month on my plan - aka plan I signed up for.   Netflix w/Ads is valued at $6.99 and Hulu w/Ads is valued at $7.99 per month or $14.98 per month for both Netflix and Hulu w/Ads. 

I'm currently paying $15.49 for streaming services included in my plan but will only see $14.98 per month after this change takes effect.  T-Mobile will be making an extra buck off of me after this change.   

Worse yet, we will now have to deal with a constant stream of annoying Ads while watching our favorite shows and movies.

It's time to find another Cellular provider.  Shoot, I can do without streaming services if it saves me a bunch of money.

I have the same question. I know there were options to bump up plans and pay the difference but would like to have the peace of mind knowing that we are not being forced into Ads as a "perk". I know there are plenty of shills out there trying to act like "but its free!"… Not really. Just like people prefer to pay for things without selling their data, or spending time of their life watching Ads they never cared for in the first place and will never be able to get back. I know some people may not value their time but others might. My hope is as was before that T-Mobile would cover a certain dollar value of a plan but allow the customer to upgrade their plan and pay the difference. 

Aside of a small group of people, I know most would prefer not to see Ads or sell their personal information.

I was just able to add it.  It DOES look like you can upgrade to the no-ad version for an extra $10/mo through your Hulu account (not your TMobile account).

Did you have to jump through all the hoops and cancel your Hulu service first?  I read there was no option to upgrade the loan to the no ads version.

I meant Go5g

If you have Go5G, Go5G 55+, Magenta, Magenta 55+, or any grandfathered plan, you will not qualify for Hulu.   Only the Go5G Plus and Magenta Max customers will get Hulu.

Either that or the news services reporting is incorrect.   Has anyone on Go5G or Majenta received a text message from T-Mobile regarding Hulu?   I am on Magenta Max 55+ and got a text message that I will be eligible for Hulu.

According to T-Mobile support, there will be an option to purchase Hulu with no ads in combination with the new promotion:

Thank you. Hulu no ads at t-mobile on 1/25/24 for $10/month. Better than netflex premium no ads at $16/mo

I am on Magenta Max 55+ and am seeing NO options for adding Hulu today.

Do we need to wait until tomorrow, 1/25 to see it?

If someone has successfully done this, please let us know how because if you go to Hulu and try to change to the ad free version, it appears you will give up your T-Mobile discount and have to immediately start paying the $17.99 rate, not the $10 difference 

Looks like you can't pay to upgrade.  I asked Hulu chat.

So if I understand it correctly, Jan 25 2024 Netflix will not have Ads during the movies? And Hulu free for one year! And upon reading if you pay extra then the ads are removed?

It never fails, good things never lasts.
