How can I get a free streaming service with my mobile phone contract?
Your phone contract might already have something to keep you entertained while youre cooped up indoors. Mobile networks have long offered bonuses and incentives to entice people into signing up to pay monthly plans. And a recent trend has been adding on a highly desirable entertainment service at a big discount. Or in some cases, completely free. Streaming services are fast becoming a big part of our lives. Whether youre a loyal Prime Videoer or you got BritBox for your nan so she can watch old episodes of Only Fools and Horses on repeat, theres endless content out there to binge-watch. And with Disneys much-anticipated streaming service, Disney+, launching on 24th March 2020, theres never been more services competing for our attention and our cash. Read on as we take a look at whats on offer. Disney+ 6 months free with O2  Disneys brand-new streaming service, Disney+, is every bit as magical as youd hope it would be. So as you might expect, it comes with every Disney animated classic, from Snow White to Frozen, as well as all the Pixar films, like Toy Story, Finding Nemo and Cars. But thats not all. As many of you will know, Disney has built a vast entertainment empire over the last decade by buying up some of the worlds most successful film franchises, including Marvel, Star Wars and 20th Century Fox. So, Disney+ also comes with all the Star Wars films, everything from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and every episode of The Simpsons ever. And if that wasnt enough, theres also exclusive content, including Marvel and Star Wars TV shows that you wont find anywhere else. Signing up for a Disney+ subscription will set you back 5.99 a month. Thats not a bad price regardless, but if youre an O2 customer (or are going to be an O2 customer) there are two excellent Disney+ deals on offer. Disney+ officially launches in the UK on March 24, and if you sign up to a O2 as a new user, or upgrade if youre an existing customer, you can get Disney+ for six months at no cost. To get the free content all you need to do is select as one of the bonuses O2 offers when you sign up or upgrade. If you already have bonuses you may need to swap it out for one. Word is that O2 will also offer 2 off the Disney+ subscription if youre a current customer but not yet ready to upgrade. At the time of writing, the precise details of this offer arent finalised, so stay tuned for more info.
