Why Link Your Mobile Number?
Linking your mobile number to your smart prepaid electric meter is crucial for convenient meter management. Without it, you won't be able to check your balance through the app or online portal.
This means you'll lose access to real-time balance information and won't be able to easily recharge your meter. This can lead to unexpected power outages and payment complications.
Therefore, linking your number ensures easy access to your meter's status and enables straightforward recharging processes, providing a more efficient and convenient electricity management experience.
The Linking Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
The process doesn't require visiting any office or contacting customer service. You can complete it from the comfort of your home using a provided link (available in the video description).
You'll need your consumer number and installation number (both found on your electricity bill). Input these details on the specified page.
You can skip the email ID section. The system will display your previously linked phone number. If it's inactive, delete it and input your new, active number. You'll receive an OTP for verification.
Completing the Registration and Account Setup
After the OTP verification, you might be prompted to create a password. This creates an account on the WUBSC DC platform, integrating it with your smart meter.
Create a strong password using letters, numbers, and special characters. Confirm your password and click 'Confirm' to complete the registration.
Upon successful registration, your consumer ID will serve as your user ID, and your chosen password will grant access to the WUBSC DC site and your smart meter's information.
Post-Linking and Important Notes
The phone number linking process isn't instantaneous. It may take a few hours, sometimes even up to six or seven, before the link is fully active.
Once the link is established, you will be able to access your meter's data through the app or website. This allows you to monitor your electricity consumption and manage your payments efficiently.
Remember, the seamless integration of your mobile number with your smart meter offers greater control over your electricity usage and payments, minimizing any potential issues related to balance checking or recharging.
