Learn how to use your Glo airtime to pay for your DStv or GOtv subscription in Nigeria. Step-by-step USSD and app methods included (2025 update).
With increasing flexibility in digital payments, Glo subscribers in Nigeria can now use their airtime balance to pay for DStv or GOtv subscriptions – a convenient option if you don’t have access to a bank or wallet app.
In this 2025 guide, we’ll show you how to make the payment easily using USSD or the Glo Café App.
Can You Really Use Glo Airtime to Pay for DStv or GOtv?
Yes – you can pay for your DStv or GOtv subscription using Glo airtime, but not directly via Multichoice platforms. Instead, you’ll use a third-party payment gateway that supports airtime billing (such as Quickteller, VTU agents, or the Glo Café App).
Method 1: Pay for DStv or GOtv via Glo Café App
The Glo Café App allows users to manage Glo services and even top-up utility payments.
Steps:
- Download & install the Glo Café App from the Play Store.
- Open the app and sign in with your Glo number.
- Go to “Pay Bills” or “TV Subscriptions.”
- Select DStv or GOtv.
- Enter your IUC number (found on your decoder screen).
- Choose the subscription plan/package you want.
- Select “Pay with Airtime” as payment option.
- Confirm and authorize the transaction.
You’ll receive a confirmation SMS from Glo and Multichoice once the payment is successful.
Method 2: Use Quickteller or VTU Vendor Linked to Glo Line
Some virtual top-up (VTU) vendors and apps allow users to convert Glo airtime into TV payments.
Steps:
- Visit a trusted VTU website like VTpass, Quickteller, or JumiaPay.
- On the payment method, choose "Pay via Airtime".
- Select Glo Airtime as your payment method.
- Enter your DStv/GOtv details and IUC number.
- You may need to enter a PIN or OTP to verify.
- Confirm the transaction.
Note: These platforms may charge a small processing fee, and you must have sufficient airtime balance.
Tips Before You Pay:
- Always double-check your IUC number before payment.
- Make sure your Glo airtime balance covers the subscription + any fees.
- Save a screenshot or receipt for proof of payment.
