Using Netflix with a Verizon Package
A Netflix membership may be included in or added to an eligible Verizon package.
Once you've signed up, activate to link your new or existing Netflix account.
Link via activation link
Once you've signed up for Netflix through Verizon +play, you will receive an email/SMS that contains an activation link.
Click the link to be directed to Netflix.com.
Note: If you signed up for multiple services through +play (12-month discount offer), you must activate the other service before you can activate Netflix.
Follow the prompts to link your existing Netflix account to your Verizon package, or create a new Netflix account and link to your Verizon package.
If you accidentally linked the wrong account, refer to "I accidentally linked the wrong Netflix account to my package" below.
If you previously paid through Apple and have linked your account to a partner package since October 25, 2021, you must also cancel your subscription through Apple. If you do not, you may continue to be charged by Apple.

Please contact your provider to see if Netflix is included in or was added to your package.
Please contact customer service and provide the email address for the Netflix account that is incorrectly linked so that we can help you link the correct Netflix account to your package.
If you cancel your package add-on, one of the following things will happen:
If you have a credit balance, you can continue streaming until it is consumed.
If you have another valid payment method (credit or debit card, for example) on your Netflix account, we will charge that payment method and you can continue watching Netflix.
If your Netflix account doesn't have another valid payment method, it will go on hold. To continue watching Netflix, go to your Account page and add a new payment method.
The option to change your Netflix plan depends on your package.
Go to netflix.com/account to check if you are eligible, then choose an available plan.
You can change to any Netflix plan offered by your provider (contact provider for available plans).
Plan changes take effect immediately.
The new plan price (determined by your provider) will apply to your next bill.
If you don't see the option to change your plan, contact your provider to check eligibility.
If your plan change is declined by your provider, you may need to contact them to take additional action.
Note: You must wait 12 hours after changing your plan to make additional plan changes. Plan change eligibility is determined by your provider.
If you are the account owner with extra member slots and you want to change your payment method to a partner package, you can link your account as instructed by Netflix and your provider. However, we will cancel your extra member(s) immediately once activation is complete and the extra member(s) will receive an email confirmation.
If you are an extra member, you can create your own account and link to a partner package as instructed by Netflix and your provider. Make sure you use the same email address you use for your extra member account to retain your viewing history and settings. Once complete, we will notify the account owner that you have been removed as an extra member from their account.
Once you link your account to this package, your gift balance will be held on your Netflix account for future use. If you decide to cancel your package, we will continue to bill your gift card or promotional balance.
If you have Netflix as part of a package, you must link your existing Netflix account to stop being charged on your previous payment method.
If you haven’t linked your account, follow the steps above under “How do I activate Netflix?”.
If you linked your account, you may have linked to a different Netflix account or mistyped your email and accidentally created a duplicate account. To resolve this, follow the steps under “I accidentally linked the wrong Netflix account to my package”.
As of October 25, 2021, if you previously paid through Apple and have linked your account to a package with Netflix, you must cancel your Netflix subscription through Apple to avoid future charges from Apple.
If you don’t remember your Netflix login information, go to netflix.com/loginhelp.
If you see the message “No account found for this email address,” it's possible that you accidentally mistyped your email while linking your account. To resolve this, try the following:
