Philo is a streaming service that gives you access to over 60 channels such as BBC, AMC, Comedy Central, Food Network, and others that are generally available on cable and satellite TV.
You could opt for Philo if you are looking for a cheaper (by as much as 50%) option compared to cable TV that is also available across multiple devices and platforms.
How does it work?
Like most other services, Philo also offers a free trial period for new subscribers to give you a glimpse of everything you would enjoy with a paid subscription. They have two kinds of free trial offers:
- Two-day trial: Signing up for this only requires a phone number or email id
- Seven-day trial: The two day trial can be extended to seven days if you add in your credit card details too.
For an add-on, you will have to add in your credit card details right in the beginning.
