Unexpected Error (on iPhone)

I am able to log onto my NOW TV account online but when trying to get on using the NOW TV app I get an ‘unexpected error’ message?

My account is through BT and I have re-downloaded the app and updated my phone, but can’t figure out how to get onto my account using the app on a iPhone 11 phone.

As your billing for NOW is through BT you’ll be happy to hear that they can offer telephone support. Which NOW don’t.

All I could suggest is try using your mobile data or unplugging the router for a few minutes.

FYI that I do not work for NOW, just a NOW customer trying to help

Thank you for your support I’ll try unplugging the router, as I don’t have enough data on my mobile contract to regularly stream this way.

Unfortunately, neither has worked, but thank you

Give BT a call and they will be able to sort you out.

Called BT and discovered that my NOW TV account isn’t active until the day after tomorrow. Really appreciate your support getting to this solution/understanding.

If you encounter further difficulties when it is live, try turning off Private Relay, in iCloud, on the phone.

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
