 MultiChoice ReiteratesCommitment to GreaterSubscriber Satisfaction;
Leading video entertainment provider, MultiChoice Nigeria, has reiterated its commitment to better service delivery to its subscribers. In a statement wednesday, the company said greater attention is being paid to issues that affect subscribers’ enjoyment of DStv services. Notable among these are signal loss, subscription payment and reconnection, customer care services, free-to-air channels and hardware related
issues. “We put our customers first at all times and hold them in high very esteem. We are committed to delivering world class service to our customers and proud to say we are the first video entertainment company to implement new subscriber initiatives requested by the Consumer Protection Council (CPC). Over the past year, we have worked closely with the CPC to identify our customers’ areas of need and made a commitment towards implementing solutions that will resonate with our customers and lead to improved service,” the company said. On the issue of customer care services, MultiChoice explained that the call centre hours have been extended to accommodate more queries. “Call centre operating hours are now 8a.m. to 9p.m. on Saturdays, Sunday and public holidays. In
addition, toll free numbers have been introduced on major network providers,” MultiChoice stated.
The toll free lines are 09090630333 for Etisalat, 07080630333 for Airtel, 08113630333 for Glo and 08149860333 for MTN. This means that customers’ calls to the call centre are toll free when they call the corresponding numbers of their mobile network. The company equally explained that customers now have the option of suspending their accounts while they are away from home. This, it stated, will be upon request and a 48-hour notice that the account be suspended for a fixed period between seven to fourteen days twice yearly. Other subscriber-focused initiatives, the company added, include access to free-to-air channels at the expiration of subscription and upon the payment of a nominal fee, improved content on its mid-level offering, DStv Compact, providing greater value to subscribers. In addition, from time to time, the company opens premium content on the higher bouquets for an entire week to DStv subscribers irrespective of their subscription status
