Johannesburg - So you’ve heard about internet TV but aren’t too comfortable signing up with your credit or cheque card online? With ShowMax vouchers, you don’t need to.
By signing up for internet TV, you can watch entire box sets of series like Game of Thrones and Downton Abbey from the very beginning, with no adverts. All you need is access to the internet and the right device, like a smartphone, tablet, laptop or smart TV. Once you’ve signed up for a subscription of R99 per month, you’ll be able to stream and download thousands of series, movies and documentaries.
Here are all the ways to pay for ShowMax:
1. ShowMax vouchers
Buy a ShowMax voucher for yourself - or as a gift for friend - and use the unique code to pay online when you sign up. You can get vouchers from:
• Selected Pick n Pay stores
• Selected CNA stores
• Game stores
• Makro stores
• HiFi Corp stores
• Incredible Connection stores
2. DStv Explora
If you’re a DStv subscriber in South Africa and have a connected DStv Explora, as well as a ShowMax subscription, you can watch all ShowMax shows on your TV. Plus you can add your ShowMax subscription to your DStv debit order:

4. PayPal
If you have a PayPal account, you can use it to pay. Take note, all PayPal transactions are billed in US dollars so the amount that you’re charged in Rands could change depending on the exchange rate.
5. Add ShowMax to your Telkom bill
