with T-Mobile can enjoy unlimited streaming video with no data
cap
- T-Mobile customers can receive 30
percent off Sling TV’s ‘Best of Live TV’ package for the first 12
months, courtesy of T-Mobile
- Sling TV, combined with T-Mobile’s
unlimited video streaming, makes watching live TV relevant
again
Sling TV today announced a major new agreement with T-Mobile,
allowing Sling TV subscribers to watch live sports, movies and
other popular shows on their T-Mobile smartphones and tablets
without eating into their LTE data. In addition, customers on a
qualifying T-Mobile Simple Choice plan who sign up for Sling TV can
receive 30 percent off the “Best of Live TV” package for 12 months
as part of the exclusive Binge On offer from T-Mobile.*
“T-Mobile’s attack on video streaming data caps, combined
with Sling TV’s delivery of live TV, including sports, will change
the way Americans embrace television,” said Roger Lynch, CEO of
Sling TV. “This agreement liberates live television: it’s no longer
about the living room — it’s now about where we are.
To us, this shift is no less transformative than when music
became mobile.”
An hour of high-definition video uses up to 3GB of data, and an
hour of standard-definition video uses roughly 1GB. On other
wireless networks, that could push customers into overages or more
expensive plans. With Binge On, Sling TV subscribers can watch all
the video they want without worrying about using up their wireless
data on qualified T-Mobile plans.*
Today, Americans want to watch when they want, how they want and
on any device they choose. More and more Americans are using their
mobile devices to watch video on the go. In fact, the majority of
millennials – 57 percent − now watch more TV shows on their mobile
devices than they do on TVs.
“Today, T-Mobile and Sling TV are unleashing live TV for a new
generation of mobile viewers,” John Legere, President and CEO of
T-Mobile. “With Binge On, Sling TV subscribers are now free to
watch all the live sports and hit shows they want without ever
burning up their 4G LTE data. Today, we’re fast-forwarding into a
future of sports and entertainment where you can watch when you
want, anywhere you want, as long as you want. This is what’s
next.”
Starting Sunday, November 15, Binge On will be available to all
Sling TV subscribers who are also Simple Choice postpaid customers.
