NES Offers Text to Pay Method

Nashville Electric Service (NES) is making bill pay easier for customers. Customer service is a top priority, and now, paying your electric bill is as easy as sending a text message.

To get started with Text to Pay, follow these easy steps below:

  • Register for an NES account online and sign up for NES E-bill.
  • From your E-bill dashboard, click on Manage Alerts under Account Management.
  • To begin configuring SMS alerts, select at least one type of alert in the SMS column that you would like to receive.
  • You will now see a new option to enroll your mobile number. After you click this link, you will be prompted to enter your phone number.
  • Verify your mobile number. Upon entering your mobile number, you will be sent a text with a 5-digit PIN code.
  • Copy this code into your web browser and click submit. You will now begin to receive your selected SMS alerts.

In addition to Text to Pay, NES also offers several other services to pay your bill.
