Coronavirus: StarTimes encourage customers to use online platforms for recharge

The World Health Organization recommends citizens stay at home in the wake of the COVID-19 virus outbreak. To go out as less as possible and to avoid crowded places are crucial to prevent cross-infection.

As people tend to stay home more, StarTimes has upgraded its content offering to cater for the needs of families. The Pay TV operator has introduced a new educational program called Home Schooling on the ST KIDS channel.

And to help subscribers keep watching TV safely, StarTimes is offering as many online recharge solutions. As you stay home, you can purchase and recharge bouquets through MTN Mobile Money (Momo), StarTimes’ MTN Merchant Sim number (0558704402), Slydepay and through StarTimes dealers across the country. Meanwhile, by linking your smart card with the StarTimes ON application, you can recharge or upgrade your TV bouquet directly with your phone.

“As the leading digital TV operator in Africa, StarTimes aims to contribute to the safety of the public during these special times. And making sure that people don’t have to leave their homes to access and enjoy entertainment, news and educational programs, it's a small step towards creating a Healthy Environment. We believe that every Healthy Behaviour can lead to a Healthy Body and a Healthy Mindset,” says Felix Ahonzo, StarTimes COO.
