TUTONG District residents have a new method to purchase their prepaid electricity token (POWERKad) 24/7, following the launch of DSTIncomm’s instant vending for prepaid electric meter token via Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) at DST Tutong Central Mall yesterday morning.
Department of Electrical Services (DES) Director cum guest of honour Pengiran Jamra Weira bin Pengiran Haji Petra officiated the launch in the presence of DST CEO Haji Suhaimi bin Haji Hussain, DST executive members as well as personnel from the Department of Electrical Services.
This is the second CDM launched by DSTIncomm; the first being at Tanjung Bunut earlier this month.
The latest CDM is part of continuous efforts by DSTIncomm (the exclusive distributor for the prepaid electricity token POWERKad) to make available 24/7 electric token in denominations ranging from $1 to $400, making life easier for users.
DSTIncomm General Manager Juliana Sim said, “DSTIncomm launched the first CDM for the prepaid electric meter token earlier this month, so by next week we will be able to determine public response.
“However, observations over the past weeks have shown that the response has been picking up by the day.”

With regards to releasing more CDMs, she said, “We will have to evaluate response to the two CDMs launched by DSTIncomm.”
She noted the POWERKad can also be purchased from other DSTIncomm channels such as through SMS at 8885555 for $5, $6, $10 and $20 for DST Easi users, and online through www.incomm.com.bn – where customers can also trace their purchase history through the website.
Meanwhile, DES Finance Officer Haji Sabtu bin Haji Shahminan, who monitors the purchase of prepaid electric meter tokens nationwide, noted, “Currently there are four CDMs available for the public to utilise – two are under DST (Tanjung Bunut and Tutong Central Mall), while the other two are at the DES Headquarters and DES Seria branch.
“Its function is to provide public convenience in purchasing prepaid electric meter tokens through cooperation between DSTIncomm and DES.
“The CDMs are linked to the system in DES to issue the tokens once the correct number of the electric meter is entered as well as the mobile number. After purchasing a token in cash at the CDM, a receipt will be printed with the token number, while a token number will also be sent to the phone though SMS.”
For more information, the public can contact DSTCare 151 or e-mail at customerservice@incomm.com.
