If you are stuck at home and running out of entertainment options, we have some good news: HBO Max launches today.
As we previously reported, the streaming service includes HBO’s movie and TV content, plus other programming.
Fortunately, you might not have to pay full price — $14.99 a month — for HBO Max. In fact, you might be able to get it for free or at a bargain price if you are a customer of one of the following companies.
AT&T
AT&T owns WarnerMedia, which includes the HBO brand. If you are an AT&T customer, you can get HBO Max for free or cheap. According to the company:
“Customers who subscribe to HBO through AT&T will be offered immediate access to HBO Max included in their service for no additional charge. In addition, customers on select AT&T wireless, video and internet plans will have HBO Max included.”
The details of who gets HBO Max free — and for how long — can be found at the AT&T website.
The company adds that “nearly all other AT&T customers” are eligible for special offers, including anywhere from one month to a year of gratis HBO Max.
