BT Sport £39.99 to activate

ChesterDrawers — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 10:08:43 GMT

Hi Ok My Broadband phone Bt Sport ends in 18 Days. So Im getting offers to renew and pay less it seems. So I dont get the option to add BT Sport on the order. So looking this up I find that I cant have BT Sport on its own its linked to free to air channels and wants to charge me £39.99 to activate.

I dont need yet another option for freeview channels. I already have Smart TV Google TV with chromecast and just plain Digital Ariel. I dont mind having the BT TV thrown in with the BT Sport as it didnt cost anymore. But dont want to pay £39.99 when there is nothing to activate

I would telephone and see if you can get a deal - especially as you can leave soon.

I forgot that BT Sport just comes on automatically, nothing has to be linked to your account or activated at all plus of course that doesn't include any equipment sent either 🙄

Was that a comment or a reply ?. Nothing as to be activated BT sport is already on the account and accessible on the phone computer on the TV. So no £39.99 to post a router that I don't need and a BT TV box that I also don't need isnt justified

It was a reply, maybe speak to BT then as the 39.99 is the amount of tv activation charges so don't buy that package if you don't want a tv box

Ihi @ChesterDrawers

It sounds like you may currently have the Bt Sport app.

It looks like you are researching taking BT TV Sport package which would in standard pricing have an activation chasrge £30, a delivery charge £9.99 and the provision of a BT Tv box.

Prerhaps the product you are looking for is

https://www.bt.com/sport/app

which is the Bt Sport app

Hello. Yes ideally unfortunately now the BT sport app on its own isn't available and the price is still £17 with or without the BT TV

No I just want BT sport, which isn't being offered
