How to Check Your Prepaid Meter Balance and Use the App Reminder
Have you ever been in a situation where your units got exhausted before you even noticed they were low? Or have you ever tried to check your meter balance but never really gotten around how to? Well, you don’t have to ever be in that situation again. That’s because we at BuyPower.ng have got you covered.
In this post, you’ll learn two different ways to check your meter balance. Stay with me and learn how to.
How to Check Your Prepaid Meter Balance
Method 1
The most popular way to check your meter balance is by going to the meter box itself. On most meters, your available units will be displayed on the screen. When units are low, there’ll be a blinking red light or a beeping sound when completely exhausted. All of this is to alert you to top up.
If your meter doesn’t display this, it’s easy. Simply try out the second method below.
Method 2
Not every meter displays the balance on its screen. Sometimes you might not be able to reach it as well.
If you have access to your meter keypad, type in “07” and then press the blue button to check your meter balance. It’ll be displayed on your screen.
