Summary
This article was dedicated to showing you how to pay DSTV using the Capitec USSD code. We noted that the feature is currently not available. The good news is that there are many other ways that you can use to pay for DSTV.
We personally prefer debit order. That’s best because it removes the hassle of having to remember to make monthly payments. If you set your debit order to run on a particular date, you can rest assured knowing that things will happen automatically from there.
It pays to make sure that the date of your debit order coincides with that of your salary. If that’s not the case, you may wish to change the payment date on your DSTV so that things run smoothly. Otherwise you are going end up missing some payments, which attracts a reconnection fee.
