I wonder how easy to cancel subscription? can it be done in-app/online? or have to call with long waiting line..
Pretty sure the waiting time to cancel via phone is 7 months.
You cancel via your online profile. There is zero phone support.
Don't leave cancelling to the last minute either, as the online portal has a habit of being down.
My subscription's paused. Applying the code gives me an error. If I hit the Subscribe button will I be charged right away?
No, it will explain what will happen first.
It's asking for my passcode, so I'm not sure if that would be implicitly authorising them to charge my saved card…
Mine was paused and worked ok.
Same happened to me before. I facebooked the admin at Presto and they told me it's about my credit card detail (which had changed since I last put in). It is working now after I updated it.
See if this fix the problem, if not, send them a message on facebook!
Just signed up, thanks OP, it says you can cancel any time during the bonus period by going to your Presto settings and select 'Close Account'.
Dont cancel, paue it and if something comes on thats good you can re activate and TRY to watch it.
Pause will only work for whole mnth bill periods.
Thanks :-)
And boom!
you can clamber down the chimney anytime you damn please, Santa. Thanks..
Doesnt work for me-I get an error message
Error message as well
Promo Code Error
An error occurred when applying the promo code. Please review the troubleshooting guide to ensure you are applying the code correctly. If you continue to have further issues, please contact customer support at [email protected]
Thanks. I just added the promo code to my presto account. It is a success, but after that. they still got the old expire date which is next year but not updated for 6 months?
Is system suppose to update straight away or later???
Presto has to be the biggest piece of crap ever - if you want a working service do NOT go for Presto. Please read reviews on the google play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxtel.preβ¦
the Android apps have some problems before .. i.e. audio losing sync and fast forwarding a movie crashed it but this doesn't seem to happen much now. No problems with using the service on PC.
It certainly has a lot to offer for the price.
That makes 19 months of free presto…..
Thx for that. I had paused my previous sub and code made active again for another 6 mths π
Im sure i had more than a mnth left so maybe if its paused you get past the 1 mnth left to activate issue.
Crapto was only used by mrs for one show so other that free theres no real value in it for us .
Thx for code π
I am not surprised *********rs
For what purpose is the 'Pause Subscription' link used? Presto won't say.
After my mrs watched her 1 show it sat there not used.
I went to cancel it but used puse instead, think presto prompted me to from memory.
It paused the account at end of that billing period.
You could get this 6mth deal then pause it, watch a couple shows over next month then you have 5 mnths banked away for future that will prob never get used π
yeah as above. I paused my Presto with 2 days to go before expiry rather than cancelling a/c. If you cancel you lose your a/c and have start up everything from new. My thinking was if I paused it and a new deal comes along (like this one) I just unpause my a/c and add the code and "presto" another 6 months for free. So far I have had 18 months of free Presto :)
Sweet! Good to know!
Hey my previous trial was ending in 7 days. Lucky! Thanks OP
Oh and just noticed they have Chromecast too. Feels like things are on the up
Signed up. Entered the promo. No roku app. Looked at content. 2 minutes later cancelled.
Yeah, it really is a sub-standard service. Content feels like the bottom of the DVD bargain bin at kmart. Apps on Android TV and PS4 are clunky and prone to crashing.
I think I've watched half a movie in the last 4 months.
Exactly. Just couldn't see myself using this over netflix. They need to commit to one or the other and focus, but at this stage even for free not worth a lot of peoples time.
If you already have an existing Free sub account, then create a new one, all you need is a different email and credit card details. If you have Gmail, it can actually be the same address, but add a "."
Eg [email protected] for Acc 1, and then [email protected] for Acc 2
Once you apply this code to Acc 2, and it is active, pause it straight away and then resume when your free sub on Acc 1 ends.
My Acc 1 has a 6 month sub expire July 27, so I have just used this code for 6 months on Acc 2 and paused it immediately, and will resume on July 28, or anytime after that, that I decide to try an watch something.
I never knew when you pause a subs you don't lose time on the free subscription time. Good to know!
Pausing a free subscription makes no difference to the expiry date. I just paused my previous free subscription and the system says paused on 08/08/2016.
Can anyone say about the quality of these streams? At least until middle of last year Presto had only SD quality. Sorry, I'm just not going to hurt my brain by watching VHS tapes, and I'm not going to bother with SD quality likewise.
Any HD videos?
Edit: Ok, found a recent review (April 2016) of Presto http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/software/presto-1233β¦
3.5 stars.
Seems to indicate that the HD streams are available and that the resolution is much better than before. For free it seems worth it, but paid?
But it's still most certainly running third in terms of the quality of its service, despite the recent improvements. Given that it's also the most expensive offering, this makes it harder to recommend.
I think it has HD everywhere EXCEPT for web browser.
It's definitely a lot better quality than it use to be, it use to be lower than SD and now it looks quite good at least 720p or higher using a chromecast or smart TV.
I went to cancel my account yesterday after my previous 6 months free trial. They gave me another two months free
Thanks op, my last free promo was about to expire and I didn't realise. Saved me from getting charged for a month
how did you apply code ?
Thanks Op. I pay monthly for presto and when I try other freebie codes they never work as I am already a subscriber. However this one worked. I just logged in, put this code in and my monthly amount was crossed out. Excellent. Still making my way through 7 series of Mad Men.
Where am I putting this code? I have less than a month left on my current free subscription. Do I just need to make a new account?
Read my earlier detailed post about this.
Worked on my existing account (has been inactive for a while). Had to use a real credit card, but put in a VISA test number back into billing, so I have no worries if I forget to pause the account 6 months from now.
tried watching walking dead but a few episodes were like not working, very anoying!
Did you remember to tick M and MA in Settings? By default, only G and PG are selected.
Has anyone managed to use Presto on their Android TV boxes? I own a Tronsmart and Minix TV box and Presto app doesn't work on any of those. :(
No, it only works on Nexus Player, Sony and one other TV.
They are useless that their app was done so poorly and doesn't work with all Android TV devices.
Thanks OP, paused my subscription in Feb. Entered the promo code and I'm now good until December.
Just FYI,
with Stan (and Netflix?), you can 'cancel' the subscription immediately after applying the code, so you will not be billed if you forget about it.
Presto does not allow that, only a 'pause', which stop access at the end of the current month.
Or you can use a credit/debit card that expires within 6 months.
Ta op
OK, just signed up, very straight forward. As new customer, apply the code and done. Now under my profile it says:
YOUR PROMO CODE
100% off for 6 months
You will be charged $0.00 per month for the first 6 months, then $14.99 per month there after.
Anyone complaining about that has issues
Only thing I noticed is that they do not give you a date, you need to manually work out when your 6 months will expire.
Seriously who does this? By the end of this deal I'll be 1.5 years up on Presto for free. Honestly if I had to put a price on it, I'd say it's probably work 8 bucks a month max, for $15 no one in their right mind would be paying for it.
I am not telstra broadband customer, will this still work? When I apply the code, it says for telstra customers
The app does not work on rooted devices.
THANK YOU!
Why has the OP being permanently banned?
His stats:
average Votes per deal: 275.3 (Average)
That's only about three times the average votes for the top poster in ozb
Looks like they had to shut him down, he was too good.
R18+ needs password everytime? Seriously….
Just a word of Warning, The Presto app on Samsung Tvs has to be the poorest excuse for streaming since Stan tried to launch with a casting service only
Firstly, the login process is tedious and they dont utilise the autocomplete keyboard built into the samsung smart tv os, so logging in is painfully slow, and thats when you even can, it took me about 5 times of closing app reopening and re-entering password and username for the submit button to work
Next the app layout is horrible, they could really take a leaf out of stan and netflixs GUI's
Streaming itself, quality was good, but why oh why is there no autoplay and after watching a few episodes of walking dead and closing app, really the first thing i see should be a continue watching previous shows feature like EVERY other platform has.
Lastly and this is whats probably going to make me delete the app and cancel my subscription after 1 day, is the poor coding within the app itself. E.g. The app has tried to overlay its own volume controls instead of using the samsung tv volume, and as such when it doesnt work due to Prestos numerous bugs, your physically unable to change the volume without exiting the app going into any other samsung tv channel or app adjusting volume and going back into Presto, Ive done some research and this appears to be a samsung tv specific bug and doesnt effect all tvs, but it effects enough for Presto/Foxtel to look into fixing it.
In my honest opinion.. Dont waste your time as id say most of the content seems to be similar to netflix and stan anyway.
Thanks op. I'd forgot about it and was charged for 1 month.. Was about to unsub but figured another 6 months… This time, reminder in phone
Sorry if this has been asked but can I use this code to extend my current 6 month freebie? i.e so it can extend for another 6 months from now?
I keep seeing Presto Codes, are there any Netflix codes?
My 1 month trial expires soon and would love a code :)
It looks like they accept gift cards (MasterCard) including ones with zero balance on them! o_O
I forgot about my previous subscription which has passed 6 months and just recently got charged :(
Many thanks OP! My old offer was expiring in 4 days
Baboom!!!!!!, santaBoomshakalaka is in the penalty box yo
santaBoomshakalaka is probably sad homies
Just be aware of the fact that "You can have up to six(6) devices to view your content." and especially "You can remove or replace only one(1) device from the first day of every month.". That is an issue for me since I use more than 6 devices to stream stuff.
It used to be 4 devices when I last used it, pure idiocy.
I somehow can't be bothered applying the code. Presto is complete shit.
Thanks op renewed for free. Kids are watching minions so they are happy. Last time I used code I didn't watch Much as I've got Netflix. We will see if this time I'll use more, in any case for free it's brilliant :)
Hi guys. How do you watch Presto HD content on PC? Seems there is no app available from Windows store. Thanks
web site.
Do you mean browser? I think the resolution we can get from there is very low.
Just tried on Chromecast it look like the same.
I think Presto only provide 480p.
Just going to expire and another 6 months.
Never watch anyway lol.
Still no subtitle available.
Thanks, My free 6 month account was about to expire on the 10th
Cheers OP :)
Do they have 1080P yet?
They keep saying HD but I really can't see where is HD. They don't even have caption after years.
They keep giving out coupon code I think they just want to keep the user base may be.
Bit annoying as I just used a 3 months code 4 days ago to start. So no way for me to add this?
Yes could someone confirm, no way of applying this to existing accounts unless your in your last few weeks?
I've tried pausing but only able to resume no way of using this code without starting a new account.
He's Heating Up!!!
would prefer 6 months of free pesto.
True. The Android app is buggy, lots of errors, I get buffering pauses at peak times, so back to Stan and Netflix, which both work much better.
Sorry! this video is not available. Please try again later. Error code: PS401
over and over! maybe try again in another year.
When is the code expired?
MAH NEEEEG
Stan is so much better, i wish we get a deal on Stan :(
Presto app is the main problem, just doesn't work 95% of the time
Resolution is also a problem.
Lol I thought it said "6 months free PESTO."
Presto is so bad it keeps crashing. Previously on Stan, it works like magic! Perhaps after this free 6 months I'm going back to Stan.
Is the code no loner works? Keep getting code error
Just tried to sign up, got an error:
