Do you wish to receive your Visayan Electric bills via text?

Do you still prefer receiving a printed copy of your monthly bill? Or are you one of those individuals who can better manage their transactions using a smartphone or a laptop? 

With access to high-speed Wifi Internet connection and mobile data, digital natives feel more at ease using their smartphones and laptops to contact friends and families, make purchases online, and even receive and pay monthly bills. 

However, despite the convenience of doing transactions online, there are some customers who still prefer to receive their bills the old-fashioned way. These so-called late adopters may prefer paper bills because they are a physical reminder, simple to store or document, and can be used as proof of address.

You can learn more or inquire about the eBillTxt service through the Visayan Electric hotline (032) 230-8326 or by sending a message to the utility’s Facebook page.
