Easy to pay haven’t had any issues with y’all. I just wish I could put less than 20 to add on to electric. Like a 10 dollar minimum or something. Sometimes it’s hard to put the exact 20 or more In this economy.
Response: Thanks for your feedback on this matter, Kristen! We understand you may have concerns with what you can add to the account, and we can definitely help you out! Our system can only accept a minimum of $20 as a payment with a positive balance, and your negative balance + $20 with a negative balance. These minimums help to make sure that should not only your current balance be covered, but you also have additional funds for future electricity consumption. If you need any further assistance, feel free to call 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 17, 2025
To many text / email messages
Response: Hello Carmon, and thank you for the feedback! We can understand that you have concerns with the amount of notifications you're receiving, and would be happy to help you! Daily messaging is vital for our pre-paid customers, as they are billed on a daily basis. Because of this, we must update our customers daily with their balances, the usage consumed, and so on. You can elect to have only email or text alerts via the My Account portal under your settings. If you have any further concerns or questions, call us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 17, 2025
Not liking the usage not really there don’t run across or heater only refrigerator and a tv. Update is always 2 days behind need a better meter reading and updates and this is just week 1 $40 gone.
Response: Thanks for reaching out to us Joseph, we definitely understand your concerns in regards to your recent billing and understanding how our services work as a whole. The reason we bill two days in arrears is because that's how long it takes for us to get your reading received and calculated. You meter reads your usage consumed in a 24-hour time period (12am 1/15/25 thru 12am 1/16/25 for example). The next day, we receive that reading from your Transmission and Distribution Provider (this is the same schedule for all Retail Electricity Providers, hence the delay). Finally, by 1/17/25, the charges are calculated and billed to you. If you have any other questions or concerns with your billing and consumption, contact us at 1-888-963-9363 Published on January 17, 2025
This article is not accurate. Oklahoma Gas & Electric has a minimum of one outage a month. Just had 4 in the same day. Last week had a outage from 2am to 1pm and had tornados at 3am to make it worse. The power structure is outdated in Oklahoma.
Response: Hi Brian, thanks for the feedback! Payless Power is a Texas-based company, we do not provide service in Oklahoma. Published on January 17, 2025
It’s good. Lights are on. Haven’t had any problems so far.

The charges are outrageous! Never at home during the week only weekends and being charged as if I’m at home 24/7? Strongly thinking about switching for cheaper rates.
Response: Thank you for reaching out to us, Ashley. It's understandable that you're concerned about your daily charges and we'd be happy to assist. In regards to billing while you are away, you can review what exactly you're receiving charges for through the My Account Portal. For a closer look at consumption, smartmetertexas.com breaks down your usage into 15-minute increments, so you can always be sure when you're using power and at what times you see the most usage.
