When MultiChoice introduced the scratch card method of payment for both DStv and GOtv subscriptions, most Nigerians found it difficult to adjust to the new trend. For several months, people kept complaining of transactions via scratch cards not reflecting in their DStv and GOtv accounts. However on closer look, I discovered that most customers use wrong codes or type wrongly when loading their scratch cards. Most people never knew how to load the DStv and GOtv scratch cards for subscription properly.
Frankly speaking, using the scratch card is one of the most convenient ways of recharging your DStv and GOtv. Now MultiChoice has unveiled the new code for recharging DStv and GOtv using the mobile scratch card. This new technology which is done via mobile phone text message (SMS), is very simple and has proven to be very efficient. With this new method, you get instant results within 2 to 5 minutes of loading the scratch card. Once done properly while your decoder is switched on, this method not only credits your account but also instantly reconnects your channels accordingly.
I will show you how to load the DStv and GOtv scratch cards for subscription using the new text message code but first, certain things need to be done right. Always buy your scratch cards from trusted dealers, retailers or sellers. I am not saying there are fake cards in the market but it pays to be on the safe path when doing transactions involving money exchange. Secondly, endeavor to switch on your DStv or GOtv decoder, set it on any subscribed channel before loading the recharge card. This will ensure your decoder is successfully reconnected and your channels restored.
