It all about the smart meter trap. Considering I have had no issues and it has saved me a lot of money I have no problem having a smart meter. There will always be those who don’t like them and those that do. It’s part of life the universe and everything 😂

Re: Smart Meter, Yae or Nae?

Eon phoned again (phoning every month), I said that Im don't want one as I've heard and read bad things about them, she didn't comment other than to say about being removed from the call back list, which I did so hopefully no call back in the future.

If you have good mobile phone signal you will likely have no issues.

My Electricity will be 51% cheaper tomorrow than what I would be paying on a standard Flexible Tariff, 12.23p/kWh instead of 25.25p/kWh, my wallet is very happy.

Do you find that the quoted daily rates from the Octotracker app does not match the tariffs on your account as my actual rates are slightly more?

Electricity is 14.58p on account and 14.03p on the app.
Gas is 4.12p on account and 4.07p on app.

Edit

It looks like the apps using the December Tariff instead of the April one, not sure how to change that, atleast their website is changeable.

Yep i did notice a difference. I sent them a mail and i am waiting on a reply. Electric dropping to 12.39kWh tomorrow for electric that about half the price of the standard tariff. That makes me a happy old hector.

Their site seems far superior with more info, you can set the correct Tracker too.

Top tip change your phone no with them to 0777777777. Never heard from them again. Works for other companies too.

The worst that will happen is its something you dont really like, or get bored of, and just close it.
