If my cell provider gives me Netflix w/ads for free, can I pay to upgrade it to remove ads or am I locked in?

Thinking about switching cell providers and the new one is promising Netflix w/ads for free. I previously had HBO for free, which was great, and I am paying for Netflix w/out ads right now. So how does this work? Do I cancel my current Netflix and have to start a whole new account? Do I somehow link this cell provider to my account and THEY pay for the base account (w/ads)? Can I then upgrade?

If you’re talking about T Mobile here in the US, yes, you can upgrade the plan with T Mobile to just pay the difference.

We have the same thing, you get a discount on the ad free tier with our carrier

You can always get a second account with a different email address

from what I’ve seen yes, at least in spectrum’s case they basically give you ad subsudised for free, and for something like 8.99 you can upgrade that to ad free. I think most give that option.
