Your prepaid meter comes with your unique meter number written on your prepaid meter card. It is best you write out this number as the card is of low quality and the meter number will soon fade off. You will always need this meter number to load your prepaid meter. Think of it as your phone number that you are about to recharge. If you lose it or forget it, then you can no longer load your meter.
