Just got a call back from TM saying they are working on it. Not holding breath. I will saythat all reps have tried !! Did you get an email with a link? Are you a former Sprint customer who had Hulu? Ifyou hada Hulu account previously, theinstructions say to delete it if you did. Are you working behind a VPN? If so, make sure you disable it. Do some basic troubleshooting and clear your cookies and cache and try again. I can't explain why your experience is different than mine except I worked with someone named Gladys who pushed the right buttons and pulled the right levers. It seems less like an issue with you or your eligibility and more like a tech issue that needs to be resolved. Good luck.5Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 1/25/2024 Hulu on us text message with link not working!

I was initially told that the link wasn't working because the site was very busy. The agent said she would call me back in a couple of hours to see if we could get in together. She did. Twothings to be sure of: 1. If you got the email, you are a targeted customer; and 2). Make sure you disable VPN. Beyond that, you just have to get lucky and connect with the right customer service associate. I work for a firm with a large CS center and I can state for a fact that CS associates have been known to be wrong. Gladys was quite knowledgeable and skilled at her job. I wanted to hire her24Visto1like0ComentariosRe: 1/25/2024 Hulu on us text message with link not working!

Perhaps, when sending out promotion texts, include in the text what plan is needed so don't waste time trying to sign up when it's really not avaliable. Just a thought. Please look at this page on T-Mobile own site. Check out the last paragraph listed "Full terms". It clearly says those with Magenta Max is included. https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/rs219 I suggest calling their customer service line. I did. Everything worked out for me. If you received a text, it is highly likely you are a "targeted customer". This is the first day of their Hulu On Us offering. There are always bound to be glitches.7Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 1/25/2024 Hulu on us text message with link not working!
Here's an update to my previous post: I called Customer Service. After just over 40 minutes, I connected with Gladys. She is extremely friendly. I told her about my messaging concerns and she confirmed that the Hulu offering was for Go5G Next but also for "targeted customers". I previously thought I got the text because I am a former Sprint customer who had Hulu. She confirmed that was the case and walked me through the activation Note: If you are getting the text, you are probably a targeted customer. Just make sure you disable VPN when trying to activate. VPN was blocking my prior attempts. Note the 2nd: I know a lot of people hate their telecom companies and their cable/streaming services, but I have to say that over the years, I have never had a real problem with T-Mobile. I did move out of a state where it was prevalent to state where it was not existence some years ago, and so switch to another service. But when T-Mobile became available in my state, I signed up. I'm very happy I did. I think the benefits that they offer like Hulu on us, Netflix, Apple TV are outstanding.6Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: 1/25/2024 Hulu on us text message with link not working!
T-Mobile's messaging on this is definitely confusing. I too received a text message which linked to my plan. It did not take me to an activation page. I think this might be on purpose. T-Mobile, by most accounts I have read online, is offering this to their Go5G Next plan members. None of the other Go5G plans are eligible. Sending me to my Plan page is perhaps a none-too-subtle hint to upgrade. The exact text message reads: "T-Mobile: Exciting news! Your new streaming benefit is here-introducing Hulu ON US. Don't miss out. Redeem and start watching today: <link>. Certainly seems like I get the benefit but it could also simply be interpreted as the benefit is now live. That's tricky if that is all they mean and not transparent.10Visto0likes0Comentarios
