My son is renting in PE and the premises has the prepaid electricity meter, and he has a plastic card that's used to buy vouchers at a limited number of places.

Is there any option available to buy electricity vouchers online, or by phone ?

I've searched, but these convenient options don't seem to be available in PE.
 
FNB offers such a facility if i'm not mistaken. That's if you're with FNB.
 
I use prepaid in PE and there are none. I have asked one of the online sellers but the problem seems to be with the PE municipality and there systems.

Thanks - gave it a try and got the below error message:
Processing Error: Please check Transaction History/Prepaid History before trying again

Looks like they're backward in a good few areas.

I tried FNB, but I guess the reason why that failed is as you say, the municipality hasn't implemented any of these convenient measures.
 
Lack of places selling? There are quite a few places, most spars and engine stations have prepaid electricity, spar is easiest when you get your groceries!

Clearly not an official site, but it could be someone with a garage who is batch processing purchases online seeming as they only do it at certain times of the day! Will also have zero recourse if things go south!
 
Thread resurrection:

Nelson Mandela Bay Metro has finally partnered with a company to bring us online prepaid purchases. I have registered and used it twice - very efficient and immediate responses on both occasions. Cost is R4,50 per transaction, which is peanuts.

Register here: https://www.wireit.co.za/ - all relevant information is there.

I registered via email and made my first purchase 5 minutes later. Token was SMS'd to me within a minute.
