App activation

App activation, explained honestly

Most player apps on Android, such as IBO Player, must be activated by you with the app maker. Here is exactly how it works.

  • Paid to the app makerMost player apps, such as IBO Player, ask you to pay a one-off or yearly activation fee to the company that makes the app.
  • Separate from your planThis fee is not part of your IPTV Telly plan and is not paid to us. We never charge you for the app.
  • Not covered by our refundAs the fee goes to the app maker, it is not covered by our 7-day refund. Ask us which app suits your device before you pay.
