If you’re a prepaid meter user under Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company (PHED), which comprises states like Rivers, Bayelsa, Cross River and Akwa-Ibom,. It is important for you to know the different codes that you can use to operate your meter when you want to perform any function.
Once you know the PHED prepaid meter codes, you’ll be able to solve most of your prepaid meter problems without needing the help of a technician. As we all know, a prepaid meter can become faulty at any time. These codes will definitely help you to fix most of the problems that your prepaid meter may have at any point in time.
However, it is pertinent to note that Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company doesn’t have a special prepaid meter. This means that electricity consumers under PHED use the same prepaid meter brands that other Nigerians use.
As a sequel to that, the common prepaid meter brands used in Nigeria are Conlog, Mojec, Longi, Memmcol, etc. These meter brands have different codes that you can use to perform different functions, such as checking your meter credit balance, resetting your meter, activating your meter, and deactivating your meter’s alarm, among others. To this end, the code that is used for checking Conlog prepaid meter credit balance in Abuja is the same code that you can use to check it in Rivers.
PHED Prepaid Meter Codes
Each prepaid meter brand in Nigeria has different codes for a particular function. These codes are brand-specific; hence, a code you use to check the balance on a Conlog prepaid meter may not be the same for a Longi prepaid meter. The same thing is applied to other function. So, it is important for you to know your meter and choose the code that corresponds to it to enable you to use it more efficiently. The table below summarizes PHED prepaid meter codes with their individual functions attached.
