    Thanks both. 

    So they’re still offering Octopus Tracker July 2022 V1?

    We don’t have Smart Meters but happy to sign up. When logged into my account I see they have local appointments 5th - 22nd Sept but we’re out of the country then. Sod’s law, we return 22nd. 

    When logged in, on ‘Change my tariff’ I’m only offered fixed rate deals. 

    Can I just confirm,  I can sign up by email, without existing SMs, & if I want to go back to SVT, I can do so? Or would I then be restricted to their fixed rate offers?

    Sorry for all ??s but I’m tying myself in knots trying to work it all out & prepare for departure on 31st😊
    Yes at the moment (they haven't brought out a newer version yet), and yes.

    You have to contact them directly to specifically request to switch to Tracker. 

    [Might be reasonable to ask them to delay the switch until you're back home so you can give them a meter reading on switch day.]
    Phttt

    I'd typed my reply, basically saying that's what I was going to do.

    Just jotting down figures so I could tell OH what I'm going to do., logged into account & see 16.00 announcement that they've increased the rates so I've missed the boat.

    TBH, think I need to leave it now until we return. Too much 'life stuff' at the moment.

    Thanks for your help though.
