Signing up on Netflix
To sign up on Netflix, visit their official website here on your device, create an account and password, choose your package and then enter your payment method.
You will receive an email confirming your subscription. If all is in order, you can start streaming right away on the app or online.
Supported devices include Android smartphones and tablets, iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, PCs, laptops, smart TVs and streaming media players, game consoles, Blue-ray players, and set-top boxes.
Of course, you will also need a reliable internet connection. Online streaming often uses large amounts of data, so streaming over a Wi-Fi connection is often the best bet.
Payment options include Visa and Mastercard debit or credit cards which should be enabled for recurring e-commerce and international transactions.
