Consumers can now sign up for a one-month free trial via iflix’s website, or by downloading the app to their phone or tablet from Google Play or the Apple App Store, giving them unlimited access to thousands of TV shows, movies and more across the world, on every device they own, with no credit card required and no obligations. 

The company additionally announced a landmark three-year exclusive partnership with Smart Axiata (Smart), giving all Smart customers up to three months unlimited access to iflix’s service, sponsored by Smart.

These allow customers to enjoy the best streaming and entertainment experience, inclusive of a voice, SMS and data bundle.

Each iflix subscription includes:

• Unlimited access to iflix’s library of thousands of first-run exclusive shows, award-winning TV series, blockbuster movies, popular local and regional content, children’s programs and much more;
• Access to iflix on up to 5 devices at once, including phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, TVs and other connected devices;
• The ability to download TV shows and movies to any phone, tablet or mobile device to binge-watch offline, when not connected to the Internet;
