One checkout for DStv and GOtv wallets

You can pay DStv and GOtv (both MultiChoice Ghana) with MTN Mobile Money or Telecel Cash without an agent. Ewale *714*22# opens the same TV-bills menu on any GSM network; the MoMo prompt follows the SIM you dial from. AT Money works the same way on an AT line.

DStv uses a smartcard number. GOtv uses an IUC. Mixing them is the usual failed lookup. Find DStv: smartcard guide. Find GOtv: IUC guide.

Pay with MTN MoMo

  1. Dial *714*22# from the MTN line that holds the wallet.
  2. Choose TV bills (or Pay Bills) → DStv or GOtv.
  3. Enter the smartcard or IUC with no spaces. Confirm the customer name.
  4. Select the package or renewal amount shown. The live GHS on screen is what MultiChoice is charging today — not a screenshot from last year.
  5. Approve the MTN MoMo prompt with your PIN.
  6. Keep the SMS. Reboot the decoder after 5–15 minutes if channels stay locked.

*170# → MoMoPay can also reach DStv, but the menu is longer. Ewale is the short path when you already know the card number.

Pay with Telecel Cash

  1. Dial *714*22# from a Telecel SIM (porting matters more than a 020 prefix).
  2. Same TV bills → DStv or GOtv → number → package.
  3. Approve Telecel Cash (the prompt is the wallet behind *110# on Telecel).

You do not need the paying wallet to match the decoder. A Telecel Cash payer can renew a DStv in Kumasi from Accra. The token of value is the subscription on that smartcard/IUC, not the phone number.

Online without USSD

If you have data or Wi-Fi, use Ewale services and pick the TV biller. Same MoMo OTP. Use USSD when the decoder is off and you also have no data.

After payment — E16 still on screen

Payment success is not instant picture. MultiChoice must entitle the card. Wait, unplug the decoder for 60 seconds, reseat the smartcard. If E16/E30/E48 remain, see error codes E16, E30, E48. Do not pay twice until you confirm the first MoMo debit.
