YOU CAN ACTIVATE YOUR DECODER USING THE USSD CODE
You can proceed with the decoder activation using the USSD by dialing *288# using your phone. Once that is done, there will be a series of instructions on the phone screen, just follow the instructions carefully to get the decoder activated.
THROUGH SMS SHORTCODES
This option will be the best if you do not have access to the internet. However, there will be a standard charge rate from your telephone network provider for the SMS you will be sending. To proceed; type the following SMS format “Accept*your_IUC_number*your surname*mobile number*your city*the product.”
For instance; Accept*1234567890*Joseph*08012345678*Abuja*GoTvplus.
You will find the IUC_number of the decoder at the back of the decoder.
