Contact customer care and support

Email

You can contact DSTV online by using Dstvkenya@multichoice.co.za for your smart card number inquiries.

Social media

Another option is using DSTV verified social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Inbox or direct message to customer support may be rewarding. You will definitely get assisted by the 24/7 support staff. The average response time is expeditious. So you can get your inbox complete with your DSTV account in a few minutes. However, you will be required to furnish personal details for verification of ownership

Call customer care

You can go the old school way and call customer care using the number 0711066000. You can speak to a customer service agent who after taking your details wills tells you your account number.

Use USSD code

DSTV has a USSD option of *423# which comes in handy. Just dial the USSD and follow the prompts. Ensure the line you are using is the same that you listed with Multichoice.

There are many options for getting your  DSTV account number. Normally, it would be easy removing the card and reading the digits. In case you are wondering where to find your DSTV account number; always start under the decoder. A sticker with the decoder number is usually attached. Alternatively, there is also a printed decoder number on the device itself. Ensure before you use the above-mentioned methods you have confirmed the stick and print outs on the decoder don’t exist.
