  1. Your online payment through quickteller is ineffective. I have made payment online through quickteller and my money debited from my GTB bank account but was never reflected in my PHCN subsequent bills I will appreciate it if this is looked into.

  5. The reason we pay bills is so we don’t get disconnected.so my question is “after making payment online succesfully, what evidence would you present to the guys carrying ladder to show you have paid?”

      • I’m referring to postpaid meters. Assuming the electronic payment was succesful (cos I have some mobile apps that offer that service), what would you present to the nepa officials when they come around as a proof that you’ve paid?…great job too with this thread answering questions

        • Hello Fablafab, I got your question. You know that, when you pay anything online, you get the receipt, which can be printed out. So when you pay for NEPA Online, you have to take it to any printing shop or probably, if you have a printer, you can print it out and show them. You are welcome!

  11. This is still not a complete solution as some are left out. We can not be doing trial and error! Why can’t there be an option for Prepaid all zones? Why is it that the 4 options are:
    PHCN Post-paid (All zones)
    PHCN Postpaid (IBADAN ZONE)
    PHCN Pre-paid (Eko Zones only)
    PHCN Prepaid (ABUJA ZONE)
    What option should those who use Pre-paid and are not in Eko or Abuja choose? Why can’t there be PHCN Prepaid (ALL zones)? Why?
