Paid for Electricity, But Didn’t Get a Token? Here’s Exactly What to Do

Posted on May 23, 2025May 23, 2025 by james Nwanganga

You’ve just paid for electricity. You’re expecting that token to drop so you can load it and move on with your day. But… nothing. No SMS. No email. Just silence.

If this has ever happened to you, you’re not alone. And no, your money isn’t lost in space.

At iRecharge, we understand how annoying this can be. But the good news is there’s a fix, and it’s usually simpler than you think. So, before you panic or start refreshing your inbox a hundred times, take a minute and follow this quick guide to help you retrieve your electricity token without stress.

Step 1: Double-check your details

Let’s start with the basics. Did you enter the correct meter number? One tiny mistake (like swapping two digits) can send your token elsewhere.

Also, make sure you selected:

  • The right DISCO (AEDC, IBEDC, EEDC, etc.)
  • The correct email and phone number
  • And that you actually received a payment confirmation

Once you have verified your details and confirmed the payment, we can proceed.

Step 2: Refresh your email and SMS

Sometimes, it’s just a delay. Network hiccups happen, especially with SMS. Check your inbox again. Look in your spam or junk folder too, just in case your email provider was feeling dramatic.

Still nothing? No worries, there’s another way.

Step 3: Use the iRecharge Token Retrieval Tool on WhatsApp

We’re pleased to unveil our Customer Support WhatsApp Bot Number.
