Previously, Netflix had been testing two mobile plan options with its members since last year.

“This plan will make it even easier for anyone with a smartphone to enjoy Netflix,” a company spokesperson said in a statement.

“At home or on the go, now more people can watch all the shows and movies Netflix has to offer, wherever and whenever they want.”

At the same time, Netflix announced users can now watch movies and series offline even if they have not finished downloading them.

They said the feature lets users check they want to actually watch a show and save internet data if not.

The plan can only be accessed on a tablet or smartphone and streams in SD (520p). Meanwhile, only one device can stream at a time.

Subscribers have the same access to the entire Netflix library as other subscription plans. In addition, they can also have up to five different profiles tied to the plan.
