Since then, quite a bit has changed and recently Showmax opened up to 36 new African countries including Zimbabwe. The service can be accessed on Showmax.com on smart TVs or through the Showmax mobile application available for iOS and Android.
New subscribers are offered a 7-day free trial which requires signing up using credit or debit card details. Some easily available local alternatives like the EcoCash MasterCard work for this.
After the free trial, if you do not unsubscribe you will be billed $7.99 a month and this subscription can be used on up to 5 registered devices of which two devices can view content simultaneously.
According to Showmax, its catalogue has close to 10,000 hours of content that is spread across approximately 15,000 episodes and movies. It claims that this is the biggest VOD catalogue for Africa.
