TIMmusic prices
Unlike Spotify or Apple Music, TIMmusic does not offer a free trial. This means that the service is paid only, but new users can take advantage of a discount that brings the fee for the first 1,99 weeks to 4 euros. Those who do not have an active subscription and / or do not use a TIM line can access the service and listen to only 30 seconds of each song.
There are currently two subscription plans for TIMmusic: one with limited listening and no download function and one, more complete, with unlimited download and listening function. Here they are both in detail.
- TIMmusic Gold - for 3,99 euros / 4 weeks. (discounted at € 1,99 for the first 4 weeks) gives free access to the entire catalog of the service without advertising interruptions, but offers a maximum number of 250 plays per month and does not allow you to download songs offline. It can only be subscribed by TIM mobile network customers.
- TIMmusic Platinum - for 7,99 euros / 4 weeks. (discounted at € 1,99 for the first 4 weeks) gives free access to the entire catalog of the service, without listening limits, without advertising interruptions and with the possibility of downloading the songs offline. It can be subscribed by both TIM mobile network customers and fixed network customers.
As anticipated, TIMmusic does not consume data traffic under the 3G / 4G TIM network. However, this is only valid if it is used on the TIM mobile network and on the in your languagen territory. When roaming, data traffic is paid according to your tariff plan.
The payment methods accepted by the service are those mentioned at the beginning of the post: phone bill (if you are a TIM fixed network customer); remaining credit (if you are a TIM mobile network customer) or Bank direct debit (always if you are a TIM mobile network customer). The TIM mobile SIM subscription provides for advance payment every 4 weeks from the date of subscription.
It should be noted that fixed-line and mobile-line subscriptions are separate: if you activate TIMmusic on a mobile line, you can only access the service from the app (only 30 seconds of each track can be played on a PC). Conversely, if TIMmusic is activated on a fixed line, the service can only be accessed from a PC (only 30 seconds of each song can be played on smartphones and tablets).
