After the period, users can choose to continue the subscription at $9.99/month or cancel the service at no cost.

Verizon unlimited plans include 3 tiers Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, Above Unlimited starting at $75 which all offer unlimited text, talk and LTE data but with different video quality from 480P to 720P and hotspot limits from 600kb/s to 20GB. This is a pretty nice deal to get 6 month Apple Music for free giving the situation that the original price costs almost $60.

T-Mobile sends the Netflix subscription for T-Mobile One customers with two or more lines of unlimited data at no cost. AT&T enables the users to access to the WatchTV streaming service.

Users who haven't tried the 3 Months free trial of Apple Music can take advantage this offer too. This means it will be free as long as 9 months in total.
But this is not the only work between Verizon and Apple and there might be a lot more can be expected.
"The kind of offer is just the first step in an exclusive partnership with Apple," said Angie Klein, vice president of marketing from Verizon. "We give our customers exactly what they want, the top notch streaming service in US paired with an unlimited plan tailored to them on the network they deserve."
Users won't have any worries to get this offer. When the 6 months offer is expired, they just need to cancel it without paying extra money or continue the subscription by paying $9.99/month if they are really interested in it.
This offer will surely benefit Apple, Verizon and especially the users. Undoubtedly, more users who enjoy listening to Apple Music songs will turn to Verizon to save big money. On the other hand, this cooperation will increase the number of Apple Music subscribers. Apple Music has been competing with the top streaming music service Spotify ever since its debut.
