Original series, exclusive movies and best of
live sports from the premium Spanish-language streaming service
will be available to T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers for a
year on us
What’s the news: T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile are
giving their new and existing customers one year of ViX+ on Us, the
premium SVOD tier of ViX, the first large-scale global streaming
service created specifically for the Spanish-speaking world. Making
its global debut on July 21, 2022, ViX+ will deliver the broadest
premium Spanish-language content ever offered on a streaming
service, featuring more than 10,000 hours of entertainment
programming in its first year and serving as the exclusive home to
a select number of premium live sports.
Why it matters: 80 percent of Hispanics in the U.S. watch
digital video, which is more than any other group. At a time when
inflation is driving up prices on just about everything, T-Mobile
and Metro by T-Mobile customers can be entertained whenever and
wherever they go with ViX+ on Us
Who it’s for: Anyone who speaks Spanish and loves
watching TV on a mobile device.
Spanish-language sports and entertainment are
going mobile and only the Un-carrier is giving its customers a
front row seat to all the action. T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today
announced it will give its customers a full year subscription to
ViX+, which will be loaded with 10,000 hours of original
Spanish-language series, movies, news and live sports. Delivering
more than 4,000 hours of live soccer in the U.S., ViX+ is the only
Spanish-language streaming service in the U.S. with coverage of the
UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League
matches. And who doesn’t need a break when everything costs more
these days? A year of ViX+ on Us for T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile
customers with eligible plans is $84 back in their pockets.

“As the top wireless provider for Spanish-speaking customers in
the U.S., we understand what they care about, and today we’re
bringing them a whole new way to enjoy the news, TV shows, movies
and live sports that matter the most, and it’s all on us,” said
Mike Sievert, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “While AT&T and
Verizon are actually raising prices on their longtime customers,
we’re doing things the Un-carrier way and giving our customers more
without the added cost.”
ViX+ has programming for everyone in the family. Premium series
including María Félix, La Doña, La Mujer del Diablo and Mi Vecino
El Cartel will be available on July 21, 2022, with exclusive movie
premieres throughout the rest of the month that can only be found
on ViX+, including Mirreyes contra Godinez 2, ‘El Retiro’ and
Enfermo Amor. There's an exclusive selection of live soccer games,
so fútbol fanatics can follow all the action on the pitch from
their smartphone or tablet. In addition to featuring live Liga MX
matches, ViX+ is the only Spanish-language streaming service in the
U.S. with coverage of the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and
Conference League matches. ViX+ is also the Spanish-language home
of all UEFA National Team competitions including the UEFA Nations
League, Euro Qualifiers, UEFA Euro, and the Finalissima.
“We are delighted that T-Mobile is bringing the massive value of
ViX+ to its customers,” said Wade Davis, CEO of TelevisaUnivision.
“ViX+ is launching with an unprecedented scope of Spanish-language
content across premium series, movies, sports and more. ViX+ is the
only service built exclusively to represent and serve the Hispanic
culture and the collaboration with T-Mobile will be the first to
bring this service to its customer base.”
And with more than 70 original movies and series produced for
its first year, there’s no shortage of new shows and movies led by
A-list talent. ViX+ exclusive content in production include the
Salma Hayek-produced romantic fantasy feature Quiero tu Vida (I
Want Your Life), romantic series Travesuras de la Niña Mala (Bad
Girl) adapted from the acclaimed 2006 novel written by Mario Vargas
Llosa, and the young-adult action-horror-comedy series Pinches
Momias produced with Propagate Fuego. From comedy series and
romantic features to docuseries and unscripted shows, ViX+
Originals span genres and formats.
ViX+ customers also get access to everything on ViX, the free,
AVOD tier that has more than 100 channels, 40,000 hours of
video-on-demand and 24/7 news and sports.
“Hispanics in the U.S. watch more video on their mobile devices
than anyone else but until ViX and ViX+ came along we had very few
options to stream Spanish-language programs, and they were
expensive on top of that,” said Jorge Martel, vice president of
T-Mobile's Consumer Group. “ViX+ is the latest in a long line of
truly unique benefits from T-Mobile that connect our
Spanish-speaking customers to their world, like free international
texting and data, and Mobile without Borders.”
Plus, streaming ViX+ is a breeze on T-Mobile’s nationwide
network. And ViX+ isn’t the only perk for Un-Carrier customers.
T-Mobile also provides the largest and fastest 5G network in the
U.S. According to Opensignal’s new 5G Experience Report, T-Mobile
customers get the fastest average 5G download and upload speeds, at
171 Mbps and 17.8 Mbps respectively. And those blazing fast speeds
are available in more places. T-Mobile has the best 5G Reach
according to Opensignal, meaning customers get a 5G signal in more
places across the country. The Un-carrier’s Extended Range 5G
covers nearly everyone in the country – 315 million people across
1.8 million square miles. 225 million people nationwide are covered
with super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, and T-Mobile expects to cover
260 million in 2022 and 300 million next year. And with Coverage
Beyond, Un-carrier customers can stream ViX+ at 30,000 feet with
free in-flight Wi-Fi and high-speed data on qualifying plans in
more than 200 countries and destinations around the world.
ViX+ on Us will be available in mid-August to T-Mobile postpaid
and T-Mobile Home Internet customers (including T-Mobile for
Business customers) on eligible phone plans and Metro by T-Mobile
customers with unlimited plans, so get ready to start streaming the
best Spanish-language content around, whenever and wherever.
