    I shared my account with my entire family… everyone got prompted once but once they figured out how to get around it, it hasn’t been a problem. My subscription is part of my tmobile service, so at most I’ll lower my subscription to what is “free” instead of paying the extra $7 for more screens and 4k

      Can you share how they got around it? My dad shares my account and he just said it told him he couldn’t watch any more. I couldn’t get him to tell me what the screen said exactly so I could help.

        Honestly I can’t remember - but there are two options, one is “im traveling” and you have to click a link that’s emailed to you (I believe I did this on most devices) and the other option is to make that network your home network. I believe making it your home network doesn’t remove ither home networks, because each device only got promoted once and never again, and I’m happy with that.

        Helps that I also have the emails from Netflix forward to everyone I share with so I don’t have to always be the one to click the link.
