How do I activate my Prime Video subscription?

I signed up to an eligible broadband plan and didn’t get an activation email
We won’t send the activation email until your broadband is up and running. If you’ve just signed up with us but your broadband isn’t connected yet, you’ll need to hold on until we’ve got all our ducks in a row.
If your broadband is already connected and you still don’t have your activation email, there are a few things you could try.
- Check your junk/spam folder as it may have accidentally ended up there
- Search for the email using the search function in your inbox. Maybe you just missed it?
- If you’ve tried and still can’t find the email, call us on 0800 022 022, select option 9, and we’ll look into what’s happened
I’m having trouble activating my Prime Video subscription
If you’re having trouble getting your new Prime Video subscription working, here’s a few reasons things might not be going to plan:
- Your subscription wasn’t activated on time. If it’s been more than 30 days since you first received your Prime Video activation email and you haven’t used it, your one-time activation button has expired.
- Someone may have already activated your Prime Video subscription. If you have a shared email account, ask anyone who has access to it if they already signed you up.
- Do you already have an existing Prime Video subscription? No problem, either cancel this, hang tight until the end of your current billing month, then you can activate your new subscription or sign up with a new email address.
If it’s none of the above, and you’re still having trouble activating your subscription, call us on 0800 022 022, selection option 9 and we’ll look into what’s happened.
