StarTimes online recharge limits no contact, no infection over COVID-19

As the world battles COVID-19 global pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends citizens to stay at home in case of the deadly virus outbreak.

To go out as less as possible and to avoid crowded places are crucial to prevent cross-infection.

StarTimes upgraded its TV program offering to cater the needs of families as people stay home more to COVID-19 caused by Coronavirus.

 

For example, the TV operator introduced a new educational program called Home Schooling on the ST KIDS channel.
And to help subscribers keep watching TV safely, StarTimes is offering many online recharge solutions.

As you stay home, you can purchase and recharge bouquets via Airtel mobile money (Dial *185#) or MTN mobile money (dial *165#) and follow the prompts respectively.
