The provided source material contains limited information specifically about free samples, promotional offers, or no-cost trials associated with the term "go90." The data primarily references the go90 video streaming platform and related telecommunications promotions. Based strictly on the available documentation, there are no verified free samples of physical consumer products (such as beauty, baby care, pet food, health, food, or household goods) offered through a "go90" program. The sources describe digital content freebies, promotional data allowances, and competitive market strategies involving telecommunications carriers.
Go90 Video Platform Features
One source describes the go90 platform as a mix of cable TV shows and YouTube-style videos. It is noted as a free service that offers entertainment content, although the source suggests it may not offer significant advantages over existing platforms like YouTube. Specific freebies mentioned include episodes of "The Daily Show." However, the source also warns that using the app on LTE data networks can consume a significant amount of a user's monthly data allowance.
The content catalog for go90 is described as ranging from "famous to fringe." It includes reality TV shows such as "Love & Hip Hop" and "Chopped," comedies like "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah," and live sports from the NCAA. Additionally, the platform hosts movie trailers, gaming content from Nerdist, and exclusive original series from partners including VICE, Elite Daily, and AwesomenessTV. The source characterizes the app as "pretty bare" in terms of distinct reasons to use it over competitors, other than the specific free content mentioned.
Telecommunications Carrier Promotions
The available data links "go90" most closely to competitive strategies between major U.S. telecommunications carriers. Specifically, T-Mobile is cited as using the go90 service as a foil to its competitors.
T-Mobile and Netflix Bundling
In a move to compete with AT&T's DirecTV Now and Verizon's Go90, T-Mobile introduced a promotional offer for its customers. T-Mobile One family plan subscribers (defined as two or more lines) were eligible to receive a standard two-stream Netflix subscription for free. This offer applied to both new and existing Netflix viewers. Customers had the option to apply the credit toward a more advanced Netflix tier if required.
This promotion was explicitly framed as a competitive response. T-Mobile claimed it had no interest in acquiring a TV provider or internet service to offer video, preferring to offer Netflix which many customers already utilized. The offer did have specific restrictions: customers had to be on a One plan (grandfathered plans were excluded), and Netflix streaming on cellular networks defaulted to 480p resolution unless the user manually enabled higher quality settings. The promotion also introduced a degree of "lock-in," as switching carriers would result in the loss of the Netflix bill coverage.
Data-Free Streaming and Net Neutrality
The sources discuss the broader context of "zero-rating," where data usage for specific services does not count against a user's monthly limit. Verizon's go90 video service was cited as an example of data that does not count against monthly limits. Similarly, AT&T offered a deal allowing users to stream DirecTV Now on mobile devices without it counting against their data caps.
This practice relates to the debate over Net neutrality. The sources note that under potential changes to Net neutrality rules, content providers could make deals with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to ensure "optimum delivery" of their video or music content. This creates a scenario where some content flows faster (in a "fast lane") while smaller, independent content providers might be left in a "slow lane." While proponents of deregulation argue this fosters innovation, supporters of strict Net neutrality rules argue that oversight ensures a fair playing field for competition.
Other Promotional Offers
While the search query focused on "go90 freebies," the source material includes information on other types of consumer promotions, though these are not directly linked to the go90 platform.
T-Mobile Giveaways
T-Mobile is mentioned as offering giveaways beyond the Netflix promotion. These included: * Free Pizza: A weekly giveaway of a real Domino's two-topping medium pizza (valued at over $12). * Free Wi-Fi: One hour of free use of the GoGo airline Wi-Fi network for T-Mobile customers on domestic flights. * Stock Shares: A one-time grant of one share of T-Mobile stock per account, with the potential to gain up to 100 shares per year through customer referrals.
Globe GoRENEW Automation
A source regarding Globe (a telecommunications provider) describes a feature called GoRENEW. This is an automatic renewal service for prepaid promos. Users with sufficient prepaid load can have their promos automatically renewed. Promos listed range from 7- to 15-day validities and include options like Go90, Go120, GoUNLI95, and SURF4ALL99. This is not a free sample offer but rather a convenience feature to prevent service interruption.
Kajabi Platform
Sources mention Kajabi, a business management tool. While it offers a 14-day trial period, it is not a free plan. The source notes that Kajabi is used by entrepreneurs to market products and content, including "freebies to get leads to submit their email addresses." However, Kajabi is a platform used by businesses to distribute offers, not a source of free samples itself.
Conclusion
Based on the provided source material, there is no evidence of a "go90" program offering free samples of consumer goods. The term "go90" is predominantly associated with a video streaming service and Verizon's data-free streaming practices. The most relevant "freebies" documented are digital content (such as "The Daily Show") available on the go90 app, and the T-Mobile promotional bundle that included a free Netflix subscription to compete with Verizon's Go90 service. Consumers seeking free samples should note that the sources do not describe any mail-in sample programs or no-cost product trials for physical items linked to "go90."
