Watch out

Online cancellation, pause and billing details need the account holder's Sling sign-in.
Sling's Help Center and Terms of Use render only in a browser; a support phone number and chat hours could not be verified.
Sling's pages checked here do not say how to cancel a subscription billed by an app store or device platform.
