Movistar couldn't hide it any longer: You might end up without television

The operator confirms that it is not always possible to enjoy Movistar Plus+ in all countries around the world

Movistar has managed to become one of the most important references within the telecommunications sector in Spain. In addition to offering internet and telephone services, one of its star products is its entertainment platform Movistar Plus+. It is a very attractive alternative for those seeking a complete television experience with exclusive content.

However, in recent months, doubts have arisen among users traveling abroad. Many do not know if Movistar Plus+ can be watched outside of Spain.

The answer may not please everyone. Although Movistar Plus+ offers a wide variety of content for only 9.99 euros per month, there are limitations regarding its use outside the country. The platform is only fully available in a limited number of countries, specifically 29 territories within the European continent.

This means that if you are traveling for work or vacation outside of that list, you might be left without access to your favorite channels and series.

Movistar tries to make it easy

Among the countries where it is possible to use Movistar Plus+ are Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, or Portugal. Meanwhile, up to 29, publishes Infobae. As an important fact, it should be noted that the United Kingdom is no longer part of this list since its exit from the European Union in 2021.

For those who are within those authorized countries but experience technical failures, it is recommended to perform some basic actions. This includes logging out, deleting cookies and browser history, restarting the router, or unlinking devices from the Device Management section. On mobiles, tablets, or iPads, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the Movistar Plus+ app.

This situation has caused some frustration among the most loyal users. Movistar has been recognized for offering one of the best selections of movies and series of the moment. With a basic subscription of 9.99 euros per month, you can access more than 80 channels and a wide range of on-demand content.

There is also an annual plan with a discount, for 99.99 euros, ideal for those who prefer to save compared to monthly payments. The cost is reduced by about 20 euros per year. All these modalities have no commitment to permanence, which makes it easy for the user to change plans or cancel when needed.

Another strong point of the platform is that it allows viewing content on two devices at the same time. This is especially useful if you want to share your Movistar Plus+ subscription with a family member or friend.
