How to Save MEPCO Reference Number for Future Use – Smart Tips 2026
The Problem With Losing Your Reference Number Every Month
Most MEPCO consumers face the same problem every month — the paper bill gets misplaced, damaged, or thrown away, and then they cannot check the bill online. The good news is there are several smart ways to save your number so you never face this issue again.
Method 1: Save Customer ID (The Permanent Solution)
The smartest solution is to save your 10-digit Customer ID — not the reference number. Unlike the reference number which changes monthly, the Customer ID stays the same forever.
- Find your Customer ID on any old bill
- Save it in your phone contacts as "MEPCO Customer ID"
- Write it on a sticky note and place it inside your electricity meter box
- Share it with family members who also pay the bill
Method 2: Save in Phone Contacts
A simple trick used by millions of Pakistanis:
- Open your phone's Contacts app
- Create a new contact named MEPCO Bill Number
- In the phone number field, enter your 10-digit Customer ID
- Save — now it is always with you on your phone
Method 3: Screenshot the Bill
Each time your MEPCO bill arrives in paper form:
- Take a clear photo of the bill with your phone camera
- Save the photo in a dedicated album named "Bills"
- WhatsApp the photo to yourself for backup
- Google Photos or iCloud will back it up automatically
Method 4: Use mepcobil.com Save Feature
Our bill checker has a "Save this Number" option:
- Enter your reference number on the website
- Check the Save this Number checkbox before clicking Check Bill
- The website stores it in your browser automatically
- Next time you visit, your number is pre-filled
Method 5: Write on the Meter Box
A traditional but very effective method commonly used in Pakistan:
- Write your 10-digit Customer ID in permanent marker
- Stick it inside the lid of your electricity meter box
- It stays there permanently and is always accessible
Method 6: Save in Notes App or WhatsApp
- Open your phone's Notes app (Google Keep, Apple Notes, Samsung Notes)
- Create a note titled "MEPCO Bill Info"
- Write your Customer ID, reference number, and address
- Or send yourself a WhatsApp message — it stays in Saved Messages
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
