Can't re-activate account and add Premium Streaming product - no help from DSTV

I have been without a DSTV subscription for some time now. Today, I tried to re-activate DSTV - Premium Streaming only product. However, I could not do this on-line. Tried to use the on-line chat to assist to no avail. So I call in. First agent, I'm on the call for about 20 mins, then the call drops. I call in again and speak to a new agent. After close to 40 mins, the agents says there is some technical issue and that it has to go to another team to sort out the issue. I ask for an ETA - she says 2 hours. It's been more than 2 hours now and still no word back. Why does DSTV make it so hard for people to re-activate? Can you please assist and get my account sorted out.

Still no response - I'm on the phone with your call centre again - to explain the entire story again as there is NO HISTORY of the escalation. All I want to do is to sign up and give DSTV some revenue. Why is no one able to help me or get back to me?

Hi Chanwill

I tried to do what you asked, i.e. sign up again with a new email address, but I can't use the same mobile number. Says: "
An account for +*** already exists

Sign in below. Alternatively reset your password "

I don't have a second cell phone number to use

What do I do now?
