Hi guys, I've been using energy.co.za for a few years now and what a convenience. I buy electricity via sms and I get my token sent back via sms and email. Recently I even added a second meter and buy for both meters monthly. Energy.co.za migrated to PayCity.co.za and from 01 May I have to register on that site. But what a cr@ppy site. I try and enter my CC details and the text box is greyed out. I click on 'change credit card details', then it asks for an image of my card. I upload, it displays 'upload successful' and when I click 'submit', it pops up a message 'please upload an image of your card'. Wth, I'm now looking for another web-site where I can buy electricity via sms, but hopefully for multiple meters. Any recommendations? I've found iTronEnergy and it looks nice, but no multiple meters.
Thanks guys!!

If you are with FNB you can buy electricity online.

You can buy electricity with Standard Bank Online Banking as well - my gf does it all the time. Not sure if they have mobile banking or if this option is even available via such portal or even via the Standard Bank app.

You can buy electricity from Standard Bank internet banking and through their mobile app, sms banking I am not sure of.
