How to get help on WhatsApp

WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach our support team. The app opens WhatsApp with our number and a pre-filled message — you just hit send. WhatsApp support is available seven days a week.

1

Tap the Support tab at the bottom

From any screen, tap Support in the bottom navigation (the question-mark icon).

This opens the Support screen, which has all the ways to reach us in one place: WhatsApp, phone, email, and quick links to common issues.

When is support available? WhatsApp support is available seven days a week. You can send your message at any time.

Tap the green WhatsApp card at the top

The big green WhatsApp card at the top is the fastest way. Tap it — the app opens WhatsApp on your phone with our support number already loaded and a starter message ready to send.

Below the card you'll see other contact options: call us on +256 705 993 348, or email info@dishnetafrica.com. Use these if WhatsApp isn't working for you.

Even further down, the Common issues shortcuts give you quick links for four topics: slow internet, password changes, paying invoices, and checking if there's an outage in your area.

"Internet slow or down" is its own shortcut. Tapping it sends a different pre-filled message that tells the team you're reporting a problem — so the team can start by checking your dish status.

WhatsApp opens with a starter message — just hit send

WhatsApp opens with our number (+256 705 993 348) and a message already typed: "Hi DishNet, I need help with my service."

You can edit the message before sending if you want to add details (e.g. "Hi DishNet, my internet has been off since 2 PM at the Lodge"). Or just hit send and we'll reply asking for details.

If you message from the phone number on your account, the team can usually find your account quickly. They may ask you to confirm a few details before discussing it.

Tip for faster help: if you're reporting a problem, send us a quick screenshot of the dish status (from that tutorial) or a speed test result. A screenshot helps the team understand the problem faster.
