In this article, we are going to look at the prepaid meter loan code. So, if you don’t know how to activate emergency credit on your prepaid meter, then you need to pay close attention to this guide.
The prepaid meter loan code is the unique code that you can use to activate emergency credit units or borrow credit units on your prepaid meter. These codes are unique and can only be used to borrow electricity units on the prepaid meter.
The prepaid meter loan code is not fixed; it varies depending on the meter brand you are using. Since there are many prepaid meter brands, each of these meter brands has its own unique loan code that users can use to activate the emergency credit.
Prepaid Meter Loan Code
As we stated in the introduction, there are different prepaid meter loan codes, and they vary depending on the prepaid meter brand that you are using. If you are using an Inhemeter, the code that you are going to use to activate the emergency credit units or borrow credit units will be different from another electricity consumer who is using a Hexing prepaid meter. Without further ado, the table below summarises different prepaid meter brands and their attached loan codes.
| Prepaid Meter Brand | Loan Code |
| Hexing prepaid meter | 811/810 |
| Liyang prepaid meter | 809 |
| Inhemeter | 89898686 |
Apart from the prepaid meter loan codes mentioned in the table above, you can also borrow credit units on your prepaid meter using #414#. However, it has limitations; if you use this code to activate emergency credit units on your prepaid meter, you will only get 5 units. It didn’t stop there; you can only use the code once, and after that, you won’t be able to use the code to borrow credit units again and this option is not available to all prepaid meter users.
