Expanded coverage

Firstly, coverage has been expanded. The folks in East London can now enjoy the service. This is the first expansion of coverage in quite some time so this is good news. Personally I must confess to having had a concern that DSTV couldn’t attract enough customers to the mobile service and that we may never see an expansion of the service.

Take a look at the coverage map to see if your area is supported : Map

Windows Phone

Secondly, Windows Phone is now supported. This seems to cover devices (mostly Nokias) running Windows 7.5 and up. So this is really the Lumia 710, Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 (WP 7.5) and then (although not stated on the website or the store) the 820 and 920 (WP8). I have seen some compliants online that not all Windows Phone 8 Devices are supported.

More info for Windows Phone is on the DSTV Mobile website (here)

Symbian / Nokia

Thirdly, a whole lot of Nokia Symbian devices are supported. You can download the app from the OVI store if you have any of the following devices :

Touch : N8, C6, C7, E7, E6, N97, N97 Mini, X6, 5800 X-press Music

Keypad: E52, E63, E71, E72, E75, N95
