In this jet age era, it will be completely abysmal to queue
up in the bank or PHCN office to pay your PHCN bill when you can simply do this
at the comfort of your home via your phone or PC.

Today, a lot of homes in Nigeria are
using the Prepaid Meter, the digital power consumption calculation device.
Basically, if you have a prepaid meter in your house, it means that the company
will bill you for the amount of energy that you’ve used in the previous quarter
or month.

Naija is trying to wake up from a deep sleep
Good for them anyway but I don't think 5% of Nigerians have been supplied this so called prepaid meter and I hope issue payment confirmation and no token send will not be arising, this is Nigeria anything is possible if it's at the wrong side, but not everything is possible if it's at the positive side
From my previous use so far, token is instant after payment confirmation
Just hearing about this site for the first time now. But I normally use buypower.ng for AEDC meters.
Great write up, but the down side in the case of EKEDC is that you lose/forfeit the monthly BONUS token when you use bank platform.
Just hearing this… You mean you get bonus for recharging directly from EKEDC and how many KWH bonus do you get monthly?
Good but as for me I still prefer sitting at home than going to bank because of some kwh bonus.
Don't think so,got a bonus on my last recharge and I used gtb for d transaction
