Philo advertises a free seven-day trial. If you sign up for the live and on-demand TV service with a phone number, you get unlimited access for 48 hours. After that, you have to provide your credit card information to unlock the five remaining days of your trial.
If you use an email address to subscribe, you have to provide your credit card information to get started.
Sign Up for Philo with Your Phone Number
On the Philo website, you’ll be asked to type your phone number to sign up for the service. Do so, and then click “Get Started.”
You’ll receive a code and a link on your smartphone to sign up for Philo. You can either tap the link to finish your registration or “Enter Code Instead.” (These instructions cover the latter option.)
Type the code you received in the text message, and then tap the arrow to continue.
You’ve now successfully signed up for Philo! You can enjoy 48 hours of free live TV before you have to hand over your credit card information.
Sign Up for Philo with Your Email Address
On Philo’s website, type your email address in the “Start Your Subscription” box, and then click “Get Started.”
