    You can make an EDF meter reading entry by calling 0800 015 1736. Automated service so no delay. It says to speak but you can just bash the numbers at the keypad. It appears on the online account afterwards, eventually, sometimes (for me, anyway).

    It won't work before your account's actually set up to take readings, in which case you can call the customer services and waaaaaaaaait and they'll put a note on your account for the human who handles the transfer.

    I ring every month and have never waited for more than 5 minutes.

    I think the trick is when they ask for an automated response, just put in a wrong number, it then says, 'just a moment, I;ll put you through to a representative.

    Always excellent customer service, Ive been with them for donkeys years.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Mckneff,

    I've tried that several times recently and it works no better. There are huge backlogs on the phone and that doesn't bypass the queue.
