Managing your electricity bills is now easier than ever. The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has introduced a convenient SMS and Email Bill Service, allowing customers to receive their monthly electricity bills directly on their mobile phones or in their email inboxes. This service helps users stay updated, avoid late payments, and reduce dependency on physical paper bills.
This guide will help you understand what the service is, how to register, and what to do if you face any issues while setting it up.
