What is a home delivery subscription? What do I get when I subscribe?

As a home delivery subscriber to The New York Times you enjoy the convenience and reliability of having the printed newspaper delivered to you first thing in the morning. Your subscription includes free Digital Access, which brings you unlimited access to NYTimes.com and full access to the NYTimes apps for smartphones and tablets. You can also share your Digital Access with a family member at no additional charge.

Home delivery subscribers also have free access to The New York Times Archive, featuring every article published since 1851; Times Digest, a 10-page summary of the top stories of The Times, emailed daily; and The New York Times Replica Edition, an exact digital replica of the printed paper that you can read online or offline — even when you are not connected to the internet. We also make it easy for you to suspend home delivery service while you’re away on vacation.

What is a digital subscription? What do I get when I subscribe?

An unlimited New York Times digital subscription provides ongoing access to NYTimes.com from any computer or device, as well as access to apps on portable devices. When you subscribe, you’ll get access to articles and blog posts, as well as video, slide shows and other multimedia features.

Can I get a subscription to NYTimes.com only?

No. A digital subscription package gives you ongoing access to NYTimes.com on any computer or device, plus NYTimes apps for your smartphone and tablet.

I get home delivery of the newspaper. Do I get free access?

Yes. Print subscribers to The New York Times get a free Digital Access subscription. This package includes free, unlimited access to NYTimes.com on any device, as well as the full range of NYTimes apps for your smartphone (iPhone®, BlackBerry®, Windows® Phone, AndroidTM-powered phones) and your tablet (iPad® and Android-powered tablets). Print subscribers can share Digital Access with a family member. Free, unlimited access is provided to all print subscribers, no matter what type of subscription you have (daily, weekday, Fri.–Sun., etc.). You’ll also qualify for free digital access if your home delivery is provided by a third party (rather than by The New York Times directly). NYTimes home delivery subscriptions do not include e-reader editions or digital versions of The New York Times Crossword.

To activate your digital subscription, you’ll need to connect your home delivery subscription to your NYTimes.com account. If you haven’t already done so, visit this page to connect your accounts.

What if I don’t want to subscribe — can I still read NYTimes.com for free?

Visitors can enjoy 10 free articles (including blog posts, slide shows and other multimedia features) each calendar month on NYTimes.com, as well as unrestricted access to browse the home page, section fronts, blog fronts and classifieds. Your free, limited access resets every month: at the beginning of each calendar month, you’ll once again be able to view 10 free articles for that month.

NYTimes apps are free to download and install. After downloading an app, you can read 10 articles each month for free. At the beginning of each calendar month, another 10 articles will be available for free.

For nonsubscribers, articles from the New York Times archives from 1923 through 1980 are $3.95 each. Views of archived articles outside that date range are free but still count toward the 10-article monthly limit.
