That could well be a problem. Not all meters are situated where they are
easy to read for an old person. And phoning them in - given how long you
usually have to wait to get through - a PITA.

If only there was a device that could read the meter and phone in the
readings for you? Then you would never get an estimated bill. You could even
integrate that device into the meter - very smart!
