OK folks, same question about this meter, is it A proper smart meter, or just A clever prepayment meter...? Again debt paid off in 2019, just not the right time to upgrade to a DD meter with me suffering from stomach cancer. I would like to top it up with a view to getting to end of May on 30th/31st March to cushion the increase cost until proper warmer weather is around.. Only getting SSP and with a mortgage, its heat or eat scenario.
Thanks in advance
Karl

    It would only be smart if paired with a smart electricity meter.

    Gas meters only talk to their paired leccy meter and the leccy meter talks to the outside world.

    Right, so its not connected in any physical way that I can see, but would it be a physical connection or wireless? They were not fitted together, although same supplier (British Gas) and I can not remember any sort of jiggery pokery being conducted by the fitters, even though it was 9 years ago! 

    Thanks for your help.

    Of course it is wireless. It's the 21st century. But you electric prepayment meter is dumb, as I've told you at least three times.
