MultiChoice Kenya has announced a strategic partnership with Safaricom, allowing Safaricom customers to access exclusive TV shows, movies, sports, and documentaries on Showmax and DSTV Stream.
Through a strategic partnership, Safaricom subscribers can now access premium entertainment directly, improving their watching experience with unparalleled convenience.
As part of the partnership, Safaricom Home Fibre customers can now use *400# to access and watch exclusive content on DStv.
Additionally, when they purchase any Go Monthly Plus plan using *544*37#, Safaricom customers will receive a one-month subscription voucher for Showmax Entertainment Mobile or Showmax Entertainment (all devices).
