Low-balance alerts and daily electricity tracking for DESCO prepaid meters
Stop surprise disconnections. Get SMS when DESCO prepaid balance runs low, review daily usage charts, and plan recharges before lights go out.
Why low-balance alerts matter for DESCO prepaid homes
Prepaid meters disconnect automatically when balance hits zero—often at night or during busy hours when topping up is harder.
Low-balance SMS alerts give you time to recharge before DESCO cuts power. Combined with daily usage tracking, you see which days consume more units and adjust habits early.
Utils BixBD links your DESCO account ID so alerts, balance, and usage charts stay in one mobile-friendly dashboard—no separate apps or meter codes.
Core features
What you get with alerts and usage tracking
Daily usage breakdown
See how many units you use each day instead of guessing from a single balance reading on the meter.
Weekly and monthly trends
Compare usage across weeks and months to spot seasonal spikes, new appliances, or unusual consumption.
Mobile-first dashboard
Check balance and usage charts from any smartphone browser—at home or away.
How it works
Set up alerts and usage tracking in 4 steps
Works with your existing DESCO prepaid meter—no hardware changes required.
- 1

Sign in with Google and add your Bangladesh mobile number. SMS alerts are sent to this number during your active plan.
- 2

- 3
Get low-balance SMS alerts

- 4
Review usage charts
Open the dashboard for daily and weekly usage charts plus month-over-month comparison. Pro plan adds daily usage summary SMS.
Usage tracking that helps control your electricity bill
Balance alone does not show why units disappear quickly. Daily electricity usage tracking reveals high-consumption days—AC-heavy afternoons, extra appliances, or guest stays—so you can plan recharges and reduce waste.
Families, tenants, and small shops use the same dashboard to avoid surprise DESCO disconnections and keep monthly prepaid spend predictable.
