MULTICHOICE Uganda, the lead agent for DStv, has introduced a scratch card system that allows clients pay their subscription fees through a short message service (SMS).
Richard Sebahiima, the sales and marketing manager, explained that the new system would enable the clients to pay their subscription fees without going through the appointed agents.
"It will also enable our clients to pay their subscription fees and get reconnected within five minutes," Sebahiima explained. He was on Tuesday speaking during a public sensitisation workshop on the innovations and new products introduced by the firm for its clients.
"We strongly believe that the new system is less tedious," Sebahiima observed.
He said the system, to become operational in January, was being tested in Kampala and other parts of the country.
"Even if you are a client living somewhere on Mt. Elgon, you will have your system re-connected as soon as your payment is made through the scratch card system," Sebahiima assured the clients.
He disclosed that MultiChoice also planned to introduce five new channels to meet the demands of its clients.
Sebahiima said the new channels included Trace TV for the children and Style Network for ladies latest fashions.
"We also plan to introduce M-Net Starts channel for people who would like to enjoy comedy shows and National geographic for the nature lovers."

One Gospel, a music channel, Sebahiima added, would also be on the new five channels being introduced.
