Q: QuestionAfter the 30 day trial do you have to cancel Sling TV or how does that work and the cost?

Asked 6 years ago by Pam.

• A:Answer You have to provide a credit card to Sling when you register for the free trial. They won’t charge you if you cancel before the trial ends. When you go to Sling website they explain the packages and prices that will apply after the 30 day trial and you can choose which one you want. I tried for 21 days and didn’t think it was for me, so I canceled and was not charged
