T-Mobile customers now get free in-flight Wi-Fi
and streaming where available on United Airlines flights
Airplane mode has a whole new meaning for T-Mobile customers
flying United. Starting today, eligible T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS)
customers now get free in-flight Wi-Fi and streaming, where
available, on select domestic and short-haul international United
flights. As the newest addition to Coverage Beyond — T-Mobile’s
latest Un-carrier move — United joins American, Alaska and Delta
airlines in providing Un-carrier customers with the ability to
text, email, search and stream all flight long where available, now
on four of the biggest U.S. airlines.
“Now, T-Mobile customers can stay connected from takeoff to
landing and beyond on hundreds more flights, now including United
Airlines!” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “This latest
expansion of Coverage Beyond is all part of our goal to keep
customers connected even outside the signal of our network, and
we’re on a nonstop mission to find new ways to make that
happen.”
After one of the biggest summer travel seasons in recent years,
the trend is expected to continue this fall and through the holiday
season, with more than a third of Americans planning to take a trip
in the next three months. And T-Mobile will take the hassle and
worry out of customers’ travel plans, keeping them connected on the
road, in the air and overseas.
“Whether it’s for business or leisure, we know staying connected
in the air is important, and we’re excited many of T-Mobile’s
customers will experience our free inflight Wi-Fi on their phones
when flying United,” said Grant Milstead, United’s Vice President
of Digital Technology. “With the free in-flight coverage, customers
can take advantage of Wi-Fi to text their family and friends or
browse their favorite sites and apps.”
T-Mobile’s industry-leading travel benefits are just part of
what makes now the best time to be a T-Mobile customer. In addition
to free Wi-Fi where available and high-speed data abroad, Magenta
MAX customers also get Apple TV+ on Us, Netflix on Us, a free year
of AAA on Us, Scam Shield Premium and more that adds up to $225 in
free perks every month for families – and that’s just a bonus on
top of getting access to the nation’s largest, fastest and most
reliable 5G network. At T-Mobile, customers come for the service
and stay for the perks – and the Un-carrier won’t stop finding new
extras to give them.
As part of Coverage Beyond, customers also get 5GB of free
high-speed data each month in 215+ countries and destinations on
Magenta MAX, Business Unlimited Ultimate and equivalent Sprint
plans. And yes, that includes up to 5G speeds where available.
Customers will also get unlimited 256kbps connectivity in all those
places, plus free connection all flight long on four eligible
flights of their choice per year, with a free hour for every
eligible flight after that on Magenta, Business Unlimited Advanced
and equivalent Sprint plans. The bottom line? Everyone wins. And
this is all in addition to 5GB of high-speed data every month and
free calling and texting for Magenta, Magenta MAX and eligible
T-Mobile for Business customers in Mexico and Canada.
Coverage Beyond launches on United’s 737s, MAX8s, MAX9s, select
757-300s and select A319s with Wi-Fi supported by Viasat and Thales
InFlyt Experience with more flights and Wi-Fi partners to be added
soon. To learn more about T-Mobile’s travel benefits, visit
