FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

Powertime App allows Prepaid Electricity purchases on BlackBerry 10<\/p>\n

Application also helps customers track their power usage<\/p>\n

Cape Town, South Africa \u2013 Powertime announced today the availability of its Powertime application for BlackBerry\u00ae 10 smartphones. The easy to use application is now available for download on BlackBerry\u00ae World\u2122.<\/p>\n

The Powertime application enables customers from Eskom and all major municipalities in South Africa to buy prepaid electricity tokens with one click, at any time, using their BlackBerry 10 smartphone. The app also provides users with their purchase history, allows them to manage multiple meters and to use several forms of payment; such as a credit card, debit card, EFT and the PayGenius electronic wallet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely pleased to introduce this application featuring the fully-fledged existing Powertime functionalities available on the Powertime website, while also leveraging the unique capabilities of BlackBerry 10.\u201d says Sebastien Lacour, Powertime Managing Director.<\/p>\n

\u201cPowertime users will recognize services such as prepaid voucher purchase, usage reports, energy saving tips, Powertime\u2019s patented virtual meter and low electricity push notifications. The new features brought by the migration to BlackBerry 10 include a very intuitive navigation given by the touch screen interface and a full integration with BlackBerry\u00ae Messenger (BBM\u2122).\u201d<\/p>\n

In the coming weeks, further updates will be made to the application, to integrate the in-app purchase of electricity usage monitors, efficient lighting devices and will also add an exclusive cloud-based analytics capability to track household and appliance usage.<\/p>\n
