This feature has not been working for the whole day. It fails to validate the meter number which I have been using for months now, with the last buying of electricity 2 days ago.

I am trying to purchase electricity on my app but it says meter not found but it is the correct number

When buying prepaid electricity you send an sms.

The sms does not have the meter number.

You only shows a reference number, which is difficult to reconcile with the meter number.

So please include the prepaid meter number in the sms.

Thanks
