A proper media player for your TV, set up from your phone in about two minutes, with a VPN that routes the player and leaves everything else alone.
You already pay for what you watch. The problem is everything around it once you leave home.
Not a long feature list. These are the three that actually change the experience.
The TV shows a code. You type on your phone, over your own Wi-Fi, and it pairs. No passwords entered with a D-pad, no account to create with us, and nothing goes through a server in between.
The VPN applies to the player and nothing else. Your maps, your messages and every other device in the room carry on using the local connection, exactly as they did before. No consumer VPN app does this.
A real programme guide you can scan in a grid, channel changes that happen when you press the button, and the subtitle and audio tracks that are already in the stream, where you can find them.
We sell the pipe and the software. We do not sell television, and we never will. Whatever you watch comes from an account you already pay for, in your name, with credentials we never see and never store. That is not a limitation we are apologising for. It is the reason your bill stays simple and your viewing stays yours.
The player app for your TV device
Setup from your phone, no account with us
Per-app VPN configuration
An eSIM data plan, if you want one
A person who answers when it breaks
Your own content subscription
Your own VPN configuration file
An Android TV or Fire OS device
A connection at the other end, usually the Wi-Fi where you are staying
Separate from the TV bundle, and worth being straight about.
An eSIM keeps your phone, maps and messages working the moment you land. Video is a different appetite entirely: an hour of it can eat a gigabyte or three, so a few evenings would finish any travel plan.
In practice that is the Wi-Fi in the hotel or the apartment. The player, the VPN and the guide all work over any connection, so the two things are genuinely independent.
The TV bundle is not conditional on buying data from us, and the data plan does not need the TV bundle. Take whichever is useful.
Including the one everybody asks first.
Yes, and the reason is simple: we do not supply television. MeiSIM sells you a media player, a data plan and the software around them. Whatever you watch comes from a subscription you already pay for, with your own login. We never see those credentials, we never hold them, and we have nothing to do with the service behind them. If you would not be allowed to watch something at home, this changes nothing about that.
No. Nothing is bundled and there is nothing extra to cancel. You bring the account you already have. That is deliberate: it keeps your bill in your name and your viewing entirely between you and whoever you pay.
The player app for your TV device, setup that runs from your phone instead of a remote, and the per-app VPN configuration. Optionally an eSIM data plan for the same trip, if you want your own connection rather than relying on hotel Wi-Fi for everything else.
No, and we do not sell one. The player accepts a standard WireGuard configuration file from whichever VPN provider you already use. If you do not have one, any of the well known providers will do.
Yes. That is the part most people are surprised by. Only the player is routed through the VPN. Everything else on the device, and every other device in the room, carries on using the local connection exactly as before.
Not comfortably, and we will not pretend otherwise. Video uses roughly one to three gigabytes an hour, so a few hours a day would exhaust any sensible travel plan in days. The player works over any connection, and in practice that means the Wi-Fi where you are staying. The eSIM is for your phone, your maps and your messages.
Streaming sticks and boxes running Android TV or Fire OS. It is a sideloaded app, not a store install, so we walk you through it and we will tell you honestly if your device is too old.
We fix it or we tell you we cannot. The app is sideloaded onto hardware someone else controls, and pretending that risk does not exist would be dishonest. If an update ever leaves you unable to use it, tell us and we will stop billing you.
This is new and we are talking to the first people using it. Tell us your device and where you travel, and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.
