There was a recent TV interview where it was stated that "smart meters" were there to simplyfy meter reading!!!.
The truth is, it to enable load shedding by pricing, ie if you want to use your cooker at a peak time then you pay more 1600 - 1900. So it's washing machines on at midnight.
Shell itself did not call me it was SMS, Smart Meter Services and I told them it was not a requirement and I would not accept one. They tried the "old meter" trick but that did not work either.
Best part of a of this, the multi Billion cost of this unwanted rollout is being paid for by US in our present bills.
