Can't upgrade

I spent an hour on your website trying to upgrade my dstv package. I then phoned your call center where I spent another 15 minutes waiting for my dstv package to be upgraded. The operator then told my that I had to pay my account before I can be upgraded. I HAVE A DEBIT ORDER!!! I then asked her to process a debit order, she said she can only do that during office hours. I then asked her to e-mail me the banking details and amount, but the system does not allow her to that!! I then spoke to the supervisor, same story. I was told that I can pay at a Shoprite or Checkers. I HAVE A DEBIT ORDER!!!! So there is no way that I can upgrade without paying an amount I don't know to banking details I don't have. And even if I did have the details, the package will only be upgraded when the amount is reflected in the account. I'm afraid to say, but Multichoice are adopting Telkom's view on customer service. Poor service indeed!!

Hello hpcillie,

We apologise for the delayed response and the inconvenience caused.

Our business rules states that an account holder can upgrade services at any time during the current billing month. However, the account holder needs to pay the pro rata amount required to view the DStv package upgraded to. This rule also applies to our debit order paying customers.

We will not be able to upgrade your current package when there's no payment reflecting on your DStv account.

We have sent an email to your personal email address, where you can find more information regarding your DStv account.

We truly appreciate the effort you took and bring this matter to our attention.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
