How to cancel DStv — step-by-step 2026 guide

  • From R99/month on the 12-month plan. 24-hour free trial, no credit card.

Three ways to cancel

WhatsApp 060 060 3788 — fastest, get written confirmation. MyDStv app — Manage subscription → Cancel. Call centre 083 900 8000 — longest queues.

Avoiding the 30-day notice trap

DStv requires 30 days' notice on a paid month. Cancel on day 1 of your billing cycle, not day 25, or you'll pay an extra full month.
