Why Is It Important To Check Your DStv Subscription Balance?

A subscription often has a 30-day grace period after which it expires and your decoder is disconnected. You should always check your balance because the main goal is to keep you from becoming disconnected. Aside from the fact that if your account is disconnected, the entertainment will be disrupted.

It’s also crucial to remember that if you’ve been disconnected, you’ll need to pay a reconnection cost in addition to your membership fee. The reconnection charge typically costs roughly R50.00, although DStv’s decision can affect this as well.

Bottom Line

If you can afford it, you can simply pay 12 months in advance to spare yourself the hassle. You won’t have to worry about remembering to check the balance and the due date each week if you do it this way. You can use the techniques we have outlined above to keep track of your payments and how much you owe each month if you are unable to pay for 12 months in advance.
