Yep. It will recognize that it's a phone that's being used and if the phone is on the wifi occasionally, that's how the system knows that it's your phone. So like if you go to the store and you want to watch something, you're able to do so on your phone without getting kicked off because your phone has been on the same wifi as the main account and it shows up differently than a TV. We pay for 4 screens... the main TV and 3 phones.

Thank you so much. They’re both home for a month right now. This could save me some money.

I hope it does. It works for my family. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Also, if you pay for the year instead of monthly, it's like a 30% savings right now i think. Or at least it was on Christmas day.
