I've had this offered for a couple of years on EE - not yet taken it up but I tried their 6 month free Apple music and has the same horrible, clunky, sign up process and when it came time to cancel, I sent text to EE to cancel it, failed to notice the reply that said EE hadn't canceled it as I didn't have an Apple music membership with EE! , got billed another 2 months (1 futurespectively for some reason) t so I had to call 150 and explain, get them to credit one month billing (future month, not yet used). So just be careful to check you have cancelled and just stupidly don't properly read the response text when you do cancel. (edited)

sorted by- Never had a problem just removed it using the app.
- Any idea is this works if you currently have a free trial going?
I have one going from O2 which ends in June. Wonder if anyone knows if this stacks or if I should wait. Don't wanna ruin the chance in some way.I was in this situation and the EE process wouldn’t work for me about 4 weeks ago. Tried lots of times and spoke to Apple support, they said that once you have had a 6 month trial with whoever their system won’t allow another 6 months free again.
This didn’t seem to tie up with what EE say, along the lines of new and existing customers.
So please be aware. - Wouldn't bother there's nothing on itAbsolutely loads of quality on there, way better quality than Netflix / Amazon
- Beware this doesn’t stack up or extend your current subscription.If you got current subscription and you activate this addon. You will end up with two subscription running simultaneously. Only use if your current subscription is expiring or had expired. (edited)So can use say on last day or week before current apple TV+ expires e.g before apple charge you?
- Nice deal but check all the terms first:
What happens after the free six months?You’ll be charged £6.99 a month after your free six months unless you cancel your subscription.What if I already have Apple TV+?If you are an existing Apple TV+ member you will need to cancel your existing subscription directly with Apple. If you do not, you will continue to be charged by Apple. - Quality over quantity is really lost on some. Well worth it.Agreed.
- plus 1 for Severance, and Black Bird
- Severance all day everydayWatched this with my wife and I jus wanna say it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. The final three episodes are insane. Finale is one of the best episodes of tv I’ve ever seen!
- For All Mankind - three seasons all of which are incredible.
- Slow Horses was great..
- Slow Horses
Ted Lasso
Trying
Bad Sisters
Plus some great films - I did have apple tv and watched one film in 6 months, it's really no match for netflix or amazon prime. I forgot to cancel it and noticed it on my bank statement, apple refunded me as I pointed out they didn't message me to say they were going to start charging, I don't think they are obliged to notify but refunded me anyway
- Ted lasso.Agreed, I hate football but this is a great show.
- Iesty83:
I've linked it to the TV app
Same. Got it linked to my LG G2, Firetv, iPad and my phone. - I finally got round to watching severance and it’s great, one of the best shows I’ve watched over last few years. I read series 2 should be out end of this year or early next year although Apple haven’t officially said yet. Can’t wait
- Not workingWorking now and linked to TV
- Foundation is very good. Invasion starts very strongly. Dickinson is very promising.Worth pointing out that Foundation has very little to do with the book, but otherwise a decent series
- I believe this EE is a mobile only offer. It won't work on your TV.
EDIT: Standing corrected and rushing over to EE to claim my 6 months free! (edited)I linked it to the TV app - I was put off this when I realised it's watch on handheld device only.really where does it state that? Surely we can use it on any web browser on windows pc or laptop? No?
- Got into slow hourses on a 5 month trial from barclays, great series but nothing else worth watching.
