⚠️
Important: We sell the IPTV subscription only. V12Mate (our app) is free on Android/Firestick. You can use any player you want. Other players like Hot Player, iMPlayer may require their own paid license after the trial. Your subscription is the SIM card — you still need a phone (the player app) to use it.
