T-Mobile single line Senior Plan benefits, NOT!
I have been a T-Mobile Magenta 55+ $50/month single line user for more than a year, and keep reading about benefits that don’t seem accessible to me.
Logged in to my account, Netflix simply isn’t offered. Paramount+ for a year supposedly is, as is a 6 month Apple+ membership, but I can’t find a way to add these two on the desktop or mobile site. The mobile site also shows AAA membership is a benefit, although I use an upgraded version.
Do I need to spend an hour on hold to find an agent to add these services? Did I miss them as offered benefits because they are new? Is there a secret menu? So confusing!
Thank you for kind advice.

Are you already on one of the 55+ rate plans? If not, you can update your plan on the app or T-Mobile.com.

You too. Good luck..
Just proves the point! Philo isn’t currently offered, but once was. Sigh. I’m going to have to speak with a human later this week to see whether upgrading is worth my while. I plan international (not Canada or Mexico) travel later this year and might want a short-term upgrade.
Be well!
The One plan is a grandfathered plan and not eligible for the free Netflix. AAA I don't care about because I have towing with my auto insurance. I do have the Paramount + free for one year but I'll cancel when promo is done.
The only thing I'll keep is the $15 a month Philo subscription for as long as I keep Tmobile as my carrier.
I meant for you. If you want to use the AAA and Netflix benefits, and need only 2 lines, the annual cost is about the same. Made convoluted for sure.
2 lines is all you need to qualify for the promotion.
Magenta 55+ might only be 2 lines, but it includes Netflix, Apple+, and AAA membership. $70 including taxes and fees. Need more than 2 lines?
I have a 55+ One family plan I pay $60 a month after autopay that's not eligible for Netflix, regardless to say upgrading to a Magenta plan would cost me more than just paying for a subscription and my current plan.
Thanks for commiserating. I did find Paramount Plus “Essential,” finally. It is wimpy but likely better than nothing. My Apple subscription came with a new computer purchase and expires next month. I can skip if it doesn’t become obvious here sooner.
Single line user plans are always given short shrift, true for every carrier I checked out. I was with Mint Mobile for a year (cheap), and it uses T-Mobile’s network, although at the bottom of the food chain. But T-Mobile is likely buying the marque.
