MobileAP 101: A handy guide to using Visayan Electric Company’s e-billing app

Most people are now sticking with their smartphones and tablets not just for entertainment, but for everyday life as well.    

And that includes paying their bills.

Now that most things are pretty much online, it’s important for consumers to be able to easily receive their bills right on schedule instead of having to rely on checking their mail daily for an envelope containing their electricity bill. 

Visayan Electric Company, the country’s second-largest electric utility, has been working towards giving their consumers a hassle-free experience for billing for a long time.

Visayan Electric Company has developed eBillTxt, a service that allows consumers to have their monthly electricity bills delivered via SMS, and the company has developed yet another service that allows them to also keep track of their payment history for their bills.

MobileAP is an online application designed for consumers to easily keep track of their electricity bills, their energy consumption, and their payment history for previous bills.

Initially developed back in April 2015, Visayan Electric Company released the app in May 2020 and has since been working on MobileAP to further improve its features and make it easier for their consumers to use. MobileAP can be used by all who are being served by distribution utilities under AboitizPower. 

Aside from being able to receive your monthly electricity bill right on schedule, MobileAP also provides consumers a rundown of their electricity consumption from the previous 12 months, summarized in a chart that shows kilowatt consumption alongside its equivalent monetary value. The app also lets consumers register and manage multiple accounts under Visayan Electric Company, Davao Light Power Corp., Cotabato Light Power Corp., Subic Enerzone, Mactan Enerzone and/or Balamban Enerzone.

If you’re a first-time user and want to try out the app, follow our handy guide below:
