Nokia Symbian phones were some of the first smartphones to support DSTV Mobile. In fact, devices like the Nokia 5330 even came with DVB-H receiver built-in. These days however, you need a DVB-H accessory called the Drifta Wi-Fi to watch up to 16 DSTV channels on your Symbian phone. Most Symbian Phones with Wi-Fi should support DSTV Mobile. The Drifta currently costs 12,250 Naira.
The following Symbian Phones should support DSTV Mobile:
