I received an email from U-verse yesterday with the subject line “Your subscription just got plussed up!” It provided instructions on how I could get access to Paramount+ programming. I followed the instructions in the email, but when I supplied my U-verse login credentials at the Paramount+ site, I received the following response: “Sorry! Your provider subscription package doesn’t include access to Paramount+.” Earlier this month I got the same sort of response from the Discovery Channel Networks when I tried to get streaming access to the History Channel archives. I have an AT&T U-verse U450 account, which includes access to both Showtime and History Channel listings. Why is AT&T telling these sites that I shouldn’t get access to their streaming content?

Thank you for your response. The steps you recommend are the ones provided in an email I received from U-verse two days ago, and I followed them. The problem is that after I supplied my AT&T login credentials at the Provider's sign-in page, I received the following response: “Sorry! Your provider subscription package doesn’t include access to Paramount+. Please contact your provider for more information” and that's as far as I can get.

I have an AT&T U-verse U450 account, which includes access to Showtime, and the email that I received from U-verse clearly indicated that my subscription package should qualify me for access to Paramount+.

Ridiculous 

I received an email yesterday from AT&T U-verse telling me that because of my Showtime subscription I was now eligible for Paramount+. It included a link to take me to Paramount+ and register. When I hit the link it asks who my provider is I click on Uverse TV and it tells me “Sorry! Your provider subscription package doesn't include access to Paramount+. Please contact your provider for more information.” I spent over an hour on the phone with AT&T this morning trying to get it resolved with no success. Anybody else experiencing this problem?

Just to shed some light on your concern it appears that AT&T U-verse has merged with paramount+. As a result, Showtime will become Paramount+ with Showtime. 

Not quite.

The Showtime app of old is no more. The new way to watch Showtime via an app is the Paramount+ app. If you subscribe to Showtime via a TV provider, you get the entire Paramount+ app.

I've seen some confusing and inaccurate posts from ATThelp, but that one might take the cake.  And how did that get in as a Reply (vs a comment)?

it appears that AT&T U-verse has merged with paramount+.

😳😳😳😳😳😳

I tried to sign In to Paramount+ using my AT&T login it doesn’t recognize my account but then when I sign up for it using my AT&T email it says I already have an account so I don’t know how I can get this corrected. Please help.

Your AT&T login will not directly work until/unless you've created an account in ParamountPlus with that e-mail.  This should be possible either via the link ending in "/partner" shown in the OP, or by linking from your profile after creating it.

I need access to paramount plus. It will not accept sign in.

Did you read the comment directly above yours?  You will need to create a Paramount Plus account linked to your AT&T account.  The easiest way to do that is the link shown in the OP.

I read the entire post. It says there is problem with authentication and wants me to pick a plan. It says to contact my provider
