Some AT&T subscribers can select free Spotify Premium as a perk starting tomorrow
Certain Verizon unlimited plans come with free Apple Music and some Sprint plans offer a free subscription to music streamer Tidal. AT&T has announced that starting tomorrow, subscribers with an AT&T Unlimited &More Premium account can choose a free Spotify Premium subscription as one of the seven free entertainment choices they receive. If you're not a subscriber to this particular plan, you still might be in luck; certain AT&T customers will be given the opportunity to sign up for a free six-month trial of Spotify Premium.
Spotify Premium allows users to download songs so that members can listen to tunes even when offline. There are no interruptions from ads and any song can be played from Spotify's library containing over 50 million songs. Spotify Premium also gives members an unlimited number of skips. The price of the service is normally $9.99 per month for individuals. As of last month, Spotify had 232 million monthly active users with 108 million of them paying Premium subscribers.
