Phuket IPTV - Avoid if you value your privacy

by Techngro

Here's my short review of Phuket TV.

EDIT: After this review was posted, the seller of Phuket IPTV emailed me and threatened to release my email as well as some random information he scraped from the web that has nothing to do with me. Screenshot below.

I signed up day before yesterday based on one of the reviews I found here of another reseller of the same service. But Phuket supposedly was cheaper. Made my payment ($5 + Paypal fees) but the admin was indisposed so I waited for about 10 hours to be given my login information. Not a problem for me as I realize the admin probably has a life. I was up and running in a matter of minutes after I received the info. Phuket has a large selection of channels, including international channels which I never really looked at because I only really care about a handful of channels.

And that was the first problem I had with Phuket TV. The main channel I wanted (H&I) was listed as available in their channel list on their website and was the main reason I subbed, but when I went to play the channel, it was actually streaming a completely different channel (AHC). Thinking that maybe the channel numbers/names were just mixed up, I went to where the AHC channel was supposed to be, but there was nothing on that channel. So that was a bummer. Still, there were other channels, mostly SyFy channels that I was able to watch and the quality was very good. The channel acquisition was fast and I did not encounter much buffering. Unfortunately, I only had the service for less than a day, so that is where my review of the TV service ends. Here's why...

I had joined the Discord server of Phuket TV right after I paid because there was no account creation page on their site. I had the server open and was keeping an eye on it because I had asked for help regarding the channel mixup I described above (never got a response for that request btw). Someone suggested that the admin create a 'Haters Corner' where the admin would post emails from people who ticked him off for whatever reason. A minute later, the admin posted an email conversation thread with someone who had asked for a trial. The problem is that he posted it with the person's email included. I responded that I didn't think it was right to post the private information of anyone. To which he immediately asked for my username so he could cancel my subscription. He did refund my money and I asked him not to post any personal information, including my email. And that was the end of my time at Phuket TV. I have screenshots of the Discord server to prove that what I say is the truth, but I'm not sure I can post them in the reviews section. If it's allowed, ask and I will add them or put them in a comment.

I don't care if you're a big business, a small business, or just some guy reselling a service in your basement. Intentionally posting your customer's, or a prospective customer's, or anyone's for that matter, private information of any kind in public is unprofessional. And it probably breaks the terms of service of Discord as well.

tl;dr: Phuket could be a very good service, but it's not worth dealing with a seller who would post someone's private information online for laughs.

Edit: I apologize for the wall of text, but I can't seem to add any spaces between the paragraphs.

finally an honest review.

I don't think you can post images directly, you should upload them to Imgur and then post the link here.

You should also post them in the other reviews here, started by his ass lickers, because after all reviews are there to reveal the truth isn't it?

That said, what you are telling us is common knowledge in the mean time, as that dick must one of the rudest resellers I have ever encountered.

By the way on the same day he treated 2 others the same on his discord channel.

Anyone who signs up to a service with an admin with that attitude must have his head checked, because those mentally challenged people are really unpredictable, and chances are real that he throws in the towel soon.

Other members here who know him well have posted that he soon will be back in the UK on SS, so what will happen to your sub for which you have paid in such an event?

I have to say the service is terrible.

What a dick

People got on my case when I said these guys were junk just by reading the webpage they couldn't modify well enough to hide the last 3 names it went by. pm me for a referral to a nice referral only service. tired of these junk services advertising all over the place, using 3 or 4 reddit accounts to boost up a service and do a quick cash grab.

There is that guy Loccy who is the so called Android developer from the cult, but actually has a wealth of no idea what Android apps actually are

He repeatedly calls smarters and u/tivimate developers as having no idea about iptv. Really?

I have said it before, but Tivimate is that good looking girl who turns out to be a psycho beast when you start dating her. Beautiful looking app. Under the hood? The developer doesn't have the slightest idea how IPTV works.

Today he had a new comment

Actually this one is a cut above the usual "Jay's bar is shit and he serves greasy burgers and doesn't have a car" brigade. It is at least literate. But my favourite thing is the way the main mob all claim the base service can be found for 6p on Ali Express but never actually post any links to specific Ali Express sellers. Whenever someone asks for a link they all go quiet.

Well we can't disappoint him on that request do we?

In the included screenshot of a seller for $21.64 for 1 year, but there are as cheap as $17.90 for the same service.

Current price is $20.05 from Leadcool store

Ask them for a trial and you will see. it is the exact same service

If you search for Aliexpress seller look for the exact same channel list as in the screenshot

Could anyone post a aliexpress link to the service Phuket TV is supposedly just rebranding?

I have tried phuket and its very good especially as I am a footy person and has descent english channel collections. But I signed up to one of resellers who is pretty cool compared to phuket who annoys all the time. PM if you want the resseller.

Im with Phuket and I'm loving the service. I'm sure with any IPTV service there are situations where a channel is unavailable for a particular reason but it is usually up again after reporting it on their discord page.
