If your parents or relatives in Nigeria use a prepaid electricity meter, you can buy a meter token in Nigeria from overseas without being physically present. This allows you to help keep their electricity supply running while you are in the UK, USA, Canada or another country.
You can arrange the purchase remotely and send the electricity token to your family member for loading into the prepaid meter.
How to Buy a Nigerian Meter Token From Abroad
Before purchasing the token, make sure you have the correct electricity details:
- Prepaid meter number
- Name registered to the meter
- Electricity distribution company
- Amount of electricity credit required
- Recipient’s phone number
Double-check the meter number carefully. Entering incorrect information can cause problems with the token purchase or delivery.
Buy Prepaid Electricity for Family in Nigeria
Buying a meter token can be a simple way to support parents, relatives or other family members who depend on prepaid electricity.
Once the purchase is completed, the token can be provided to the person in Nigeria so they can enter it into the appropriate prepaid meter.
Pay for a Meter Token From the UK
You don’t need to return to Nigeria to purchase electricity credit for your family. Customers living in the UK and other countries can arrange eligible Nigerian utility payments remotely.
Available payment methods can vary depending on the service, so confirm the applicable payment option and total amount before completing the transaction.
Electricity Token for Parents in Nigeria
If your parents are elderly or have difficulty making electricity payments themselves, remote support can make the process easier.
Ask them to send you their current meter number and the amount they need. After purchasing the token, make sure they receive the token details and payment confirmation.
Check the Token Before Sending It
Before forwarding the token to your family, check that:
- The meter number is correct.
- The electricity provider is correct.
- The purchase amount is correct.
- The token details are complete.
- The transaction confirmation has been received.
Keep the payment reference in case there is a problem with the transaction.
What If the Token Does Not Work?
If a token is rejected by the meter, avoid repeatedly entering random numbers. Check the meter number, token details and any instructions provided with the purchase.
If the issue continues, the relevant electricity distribution company or payment provider may need to investigate the transaction.
