I got a call from this number about stopping the radio signal meter switching. If you’ve got a meter like that (or if they reckon you do!) they might ring to try and get you to set up a Smart Meter install. Like others have mentioned before, you’re under no obligation to agree to a Smart Meter. Honestly, Smart Meters don’t even function properly in loads of spots where radio switching is still used. My suggestion is to push for a Timer Switched Meter instead - it’s an old-school electromechanical kind that’s pretty much foolproof.

Got flooded with texts from fraudsters who must’ve somehow got hold of our digits from Octopus Energy without permission. They’re trying to trick us into installing one of those smart meters. Then, there’s the risk of being cut off once our energy supply runs dry - kinda like what happens in Spain - or getting hit with crazy high rates, like £2 per unit. Anyway, I’ve blocked them now.

Got a call from Octopus, saying my meter would stop working come June. Thing is, my meter runs on a timer, not some signal. They're just spinning yarns to trick people into switching, probably coz they get a government cut for every smart meter sold. Who’d want to deal with load shedding or pay bonkers rates like £2 per unit? If you’re into that, then sure, get a smart meter. That’s honestly the only reason they’re so crazy about pushing them.

This number has been ringing me non-stop for ages, at least a couple of times a day over the last two years. I’ve even contacted Shell and Octopus loads of times asking them to stop with these calls about smart meters, but it doesn’t help. Despite putting the number on block, they somehow still get through and leave voicemails. The last message was about an appointment for a smart meter that I never booked - which is ridiculous since I don’t even live at that address anymore. Pretty sure it’s just a nasty scam trying to scare me.

Octopus Energy gave me this number because I’ve got one of those meters with the black box thingy, the RTS Meter, that sends out radio signals for the Economy 7 day and night setup. Apparently, those radio signals are stopping in June 2025. So, I need to get a new meter soon or else it won’t read properly and my bills will be off. I can tell you, this isn’t a con or anything dodgy.

Loads of people here are annoyed about the call being about smart meters, but honestly the call wasn’t dodgy or trying to rip anyone off or get your bank info. The firm (SMS) is probably hired by your energy company (ours is Octopus) to arrange smart meter installs. I told the bloke we already had a new meter fitted by Octopus not long ago, and he said sorry for bothering me and that he’d fix their records.

If you’re not keen, you simply don’t have to get one. It feels like the government trying to keep tabs on us again.
