Furthermore, it is allowed simultaneous streaming on three devices if you are inside the house. They will all need to be connected to the WiFi network or router. To these three devices is added a fourth device that can be used outside the home.
In addition, the Movistar Plus+ app has no borders in Europe. Can be used in the countries of the European Unionalthough its use is limited outside other countries of the old continent.
