StarTimes has fast become one of Nigeria’s most used cable or digital Pay Tv. Despite its vast customer reach, the company has stuck with only four different subscription-based bouquet or viewing plans, which remain one of the most affordable in the country.
Just like other electronic devices or pay-TV company’s, it is understandable that StarTimes users may have issues with viewing or subscription, and it’ll require the help of StarTime customer service.
This article will equip you with all the possible ways to get through to StarTimes customer care for easy resolution of complaints.
Here, you’ll find their phone numbers, website, Facebook & Twitter accounts, as well as contact office addresses.
