I've just had a text about getting one of these asking me to make an appointment for installation. It refers to a leaflet they've sent me but has yet to arrive.

Should I bite?
 
I asked about how they work. They have a multi network sim card in the electricity meter and the gas connects to that via Bluetooth.

That's going to make things fun: the electricity meter is the other end of the flat from the gas meter. Well out of the range of Bluetooth. Not to mention the 4 walls in between...
 
The meter reader came round today so I asked him and he agreed that the distance between the gas meter and the electricity meter meant a smart meter wasn't feasible.
