FREE: BT SPORT legit

Salopbaggie · 15-09-2016, 16:18

Just a heads up for everyone who has an EE monthly pay phone with EE (includes sim only). You will probably know BT bought out EE earlier this year. They are now offering 6 months FREE access to all of the BT sports channels via your mobile phone/tablet and the BT Sport app.

It is simple a matter of texting "SPORT" to 150 from your EE phone and that is it, you will be sent a link to download the app and away you go.

Now the other side you can cancel at anytime, but once the 6 months are up there is a charge of £5 per month to keep the service (which can also be cancelled at any time). There is a 30 day cancellation period, so I was advised by an EE agent to log the date you start using the BT Sport app then 30 days before the 6 months are up send a cancellation message or call them to cancel and you will then get the full 6 months totally free, of course you may wish to keep it, personally I am pretty certain it will be gone after the 6 months.

Our next game live on BT Sport Liverpool (A) on 22nd October 5:30 p.m.

Hope this helps a few people, I have checked it all out pretty fully but please check the info for yourselves just to be sure.

It doesn't work if you have an Orange account even though Orange and EE are one of th same.

I don't think they are anymore as Orange sold its stake in EE to BT back in January, netting over 4 billion if I remember correctly and they still hold 4% of a stake in the new company.

The issue I have with this is that you can only watch it on the device that the EE sim card is in, right?

Who wants to watch football on a phone?

I link mine up to the TV with HDMI, you just need to find a lead to adapt your phone to hdmi

Even though BT say it is not possible, I am told it is possible to extend your mobile phone screen to a TV, I bet Google would give you the answer.

Would I want to watch a match on the mobile? Not as a first choice, but if there is nothing else available then its better than a radio commentary or nothing at all and remember at the end of the day its free Huh
