Do you have a complete and functional Apple ID account already?

If a new Apple ID account is created on a smart TV or third party streaming device, then you may be asked to complete the activation on the web at: activate.apple.com.

Apple IDs for subscription services need full name and user details as asked, a verified email address (respond to test message), and a valid pre-authorized payment method (even for free trials, so that it can auto-renew when not canceled).

This verification code will be send to a trusted (personal) Apple device (as pop-up notification), or to a trusted phone number (as text message), as you may have selected for your Apple ID account.
