- T-Mobile is phasing out its Philo and YouTube TV discount perk, though it might remain available for up to two more years.
- Customers will now pay Philo directly but receive reimbursement as a T-Mobile account credit.
- Those affected should monitor future communications from T-Mobile closely, as the offer might end earlier.
If you’ve been with T-Mobile for a while, you might recall that it initially tried to break into the TV market with its TVision service. After less than a year, the service shut down. Before exiting, it offered discounted TV service through either Philo or YouTube TV as an alternative for its subscribers. Unfortunately, it appears that this perk may finally be ending, though the good news is that the change could still be two years away.
As first noted by Redditor Shaki8, T-Mobile is sending alerts to customers with the Philo TV discount, indicating it will now cover the service via a credit for up to 24 months rather than paying Philo directly. In short, you’ll pay the full Philo bill yourself, but T-Mobile will continue crediting your T-Mobile account.
