  2. Follow the steps on the Hulu website for managing a plan: https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-add-t-mobile.

  2. Follow the steps on the Hulu website to cancel: https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-cancel-hulu-subscription
  3. Add the Hulu SOC to the different line on the same T-Mobile account or walk customers through the self-service steps..
  4. Advise custoemrs to complete the redemption flow once they receive the SMS on the desired phone.

    • Showtime
    • Starz
    • Enhanced DVR
    • Multi-Stream
    • Combo DVR & Stream

 

Account support

  • Customers with Hulu ON US must remain on eligible plans to keep this benefit. If they decide to change plans use the eligibility file to ensure the new plan has Hulu ON US. 
  • Customers with a 12-month Hulu coupon were automatically transitioned to T-Mobile billing on January 15, 2025
    • No action was required, and these customers have account memos from January 2025 stating "Customer previously redeemed Hulu ON US offer through Coupon Code."
    • These customers also have SOC HULOFADOU on their accounts. 
  • Customers who port out and have their T-Mobile account account cancelled will not be able to access their Hulu account until they set up alternate billing. 

 

Troubleshooting

The Hulu SOCs should not be removed from accounts and then added back to attempt to resolve issues. This may cause customers to experience additional issues. 

  1. Check eligibility such as:
    • A change of ownership may have placed the line on an account type that is not eligible.
    • Hulu is not allowed for most Corporate Liable accounts.
  2. Confirm customers did not change to an ineligible plan.
  3. Determine if customers already have Hulu active on another line (since only one Hulu account is allowed per T-Mobile BAN).
  4. Advise customers to check the redemption SMS.

 

Customers may experience a spinning loading wheel or inactivity after they enter information on the Hulu page if they redeem using VPN (or appear to use one). The account is activated but blocked, so have customers follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Ensure customers note the email and password they used to register.
  2. Log into T-Life or My T-Mobile.
  3. Select Manage See Plans > Manage add-ons > Account level services
  4. Select the Check activations status link > select Hulu.
  5. Select the carrot next to Hulu to expand > Manage Hulu > checkbox for T&C > Activate Hulu.
  6. Enter the email and password when prompted. Once they enter their password, they should have access to their account.

 

  1. Advise customers to access Hulu.com or the Hulu app.
  2. Instruct them to use the Forgot password process.

 

Check the subscription status in Atlas and determine if there is an active SOC on the account.

 

Subscription is not in Atlas

  1. Confirm customers have an eligible plan.
  2. Add an eligible Hulu SOC if the SOC is not on the account.
  3. Remove the SOC if it is on the account. 
    • Confirm the SOC is not active on the account and add the SOC back to the account.
    • Create a ticket if the SOC is still active. 
  4. Inform customers an SMS will be sent in 5-10 minutes and they can change to a different plan during registration with Hulu.
 
Subscription is active in Atlas
  1. Confirm there is an eligible SOC on the account.
  2. Follow these steps if customers forget the email address they used for Hulu registration:
    1. Open the account in Atlas and navigate to Toolbox.
    2. Select Troubleshooting. 
    3. Select the Hulu Redemption SMS Issues Flow
    4. Look for Check Hulu subscription status and scroll down to Subscription Status
    5. Locate the field called ID (which is the Subscription ID).
    6. Provide the Subscription ID to customers and advise them to call Hulu to confirm their email address using the Subscription ID.
 
Subscription is cancel / pending status
  • The subscription will be canceled at the end of Hulu billing cycle and customers cannot change options from Hulu or purchase any adds-on.
  • If customers want to reactivate their subscription, add the eligible SOC to the account and have customers follow the SMS instructions to go to the Hulu account management page and reactivate Hulu subscription.
  • If subscription is pending, resend a new registration link to customers or explain how to navigate to T-Mobile subscription redemption page (Atlas > Toolbox > Account Support heading > Messaging). 

 

 

  • If customers do not complete the redemption process 113 days after the feature was added (but not redeemed), they will receive a final reminder message to complete the redemption. 
  • If they do not complete the redemption process after 120 days, the feature is cancelled, a memo is added to the account, and customers are sent a notification message.
  • If customers contact us after the feature is cancellled and request it to be added back, add the SOC to their account and help them with the redemption process.

 

Account check
  1. Confirm the subscriber has been active for more than two hours
  2. Verify subscriber has the Hulu SOC on the line.
  3. Determine if customers have the Hulu redemption SMS. 
    • Attempt to resend the Hulu redemption SMS if needed (Atlas > Toolbox > Account Support heading > Messaging) 
    • Have customer attempt to redeem via SMS. If successful, you are done no need to continue.
  4. Verify there are no messaging blocking features on the line:
  5. Tech Care only: HLR Profile: 
    • Review Network Features to confirm Receive Short Messages and Send Short Messages are both turned on.
    • Skip to the last resort below to file a ticket.

 

Device check

General:

  1. Verify customers have at least two bars of network signal.
  2. Verify customers have a working internet connection. 
  3. Confirm there are no known network issues impacting customers.

 

Tech Care only:

  1. Check for device known issues and verify the device software is up to date.
  2. Verify application settings for allowing notification is set to On.
  3. Confirm Do Not Disturb and Airplane Mode are off.
  4. Complete the following for Android devices:
    • Confirm the APN settings are correct.
    • Clear the Messaging app cache
    • Clear the device storage under Settings > Storage > Fix or Optimize
  5. Turn off Wi-Fi to determine if customers are connnected to our data network. Poor Wi-Fi connections can impact overall service quality and can result in delayed or no notifications.
  6. Verify the device has at least 15% storage space available since memory management is crucial in day to day performance. For iOS, converm the iCloud storage has 15% as well.
  7. Delete all unnecessary message threads.
  8. Uninstall all applications you downloaded around the time the problem started. For example, there are times when a customer downloads a third party app and it is a malware app that could be used to send spam messages. 
  9. Reset network settings to delete lists of previously used VPN and Wi-Fi settings (except those installed by a configuation profile). 
    • Resetting network settings deletes lists of previously used VPN settings and Wi-Fi networks, except for those VPN settings installed by a configuration profile. 
    • The device settings for Mobile Network, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are reset to the default settings. Any passwords necessary for the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or VPN will be deleted and cannot be recovered they will need to be re entered on a fresh connection.
  10. Power off the device for 20 seconds, cancel the location in the HLR at the same time the device is powering off and restarting.

 

Last resort

Tech Care: If customers receive duplicate Hulu redemption SMSs or they do not receive the redemption SMS, file a Trouble Ticket using Category: Hulu – Redemption SMS Issues.

 

  • Customers who previously had a Hulu SOC on their accounts, removed it, and tried to add it back may experience issues.
  • After accepting the Terms & Conditions, customers may be prompted by Hulu to sign up for a subscription directly through Hulu instead of being recognized as T-Mobile billed customers. 
  • This is a known issue and a resolution is actively being researched (There is no ETA on the resolution).
  • The expected experience is that once customers accept the Terms & Conditions, they can log directly into Hulu to see they are billed through T-Mobile. 

 

Follow the steps below if customers encounter either of these error messages.

 

Oops. Something went wrong with the validation. Let T-Mobile Care check your account status. Call T-Mobile Care at 1 (888) 211-4727
