Using sports mobile offer

Hi everyone, I have been given a 5 month pass to Sports mobile by now , which is great!

In the email from now it says I should simply download the NOW TV app on my phone and then I can start watching! I have tried this, desperate to watch the test match today!! However it tells me that that I need to have a membership to watch.

Looking at my account, it does show the Sports mobile membership has active.

Any ideas gratefully received... not least as the match starts at 11!

 

( the problem may be that my mobile is not one of my registered devices. However in order to to register a device I think I have to start watching Now TV on it. And of course I can't do this as the only membership I have is the mobile Sports one. Is this likely to be the problem?)

@Anonymous User there are only 5 channels included with the mobile pass and the cricket channel isn't one of them!

 

Off the top of my head you get Premier League, Arena, Action, News and Racing.

 

Try one of those channels and see if they activate.

When did you get the mobile membership?

 

According to the "small" print it takes up to 10 days to activate. Was this after the 10 waiting period?

I'm having a similar issue; I got the offer and received an email today saying it's been activated all I have to do is download the app... but sky premier league doesn't work it says I need the NOW membership to watch this channel.
