My top up isn’t showing automatically on my smart meter – what can I do?
When you top up, it’ll be added to your meter automatically within 45 minutes.
But if there’s no signal, or you need access to credit more quickly, you can type the code from your top-up receipt into your smart meter display or directly into your meter using the keypad – and the credit will be applied immediately.
