ATLANTA, Aug. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power
has made it even easier to find a place to pay in person at
thousands of Authorized Payment Locations (APLs) in retail and
grocery stores across the state. The company's new text-to-find
feature allows customers to text GPPay to 99123 from any
web-enabled mobile device to instantly receive a link to the Online
Customer Care payment locator which will help them locate the
nearest APL.
"We continue to introduce products and services that make doing
business with Georgia Power simple and convenient," said
Louise Scott, vice president of
customer service for Georgia Power. "Every day, we know that
thousands of our customers need to find time in their very busy
schedules to make a payment and this text-to-find tool lets them
find a place to pay quickly and easily wherever they may travel
throughout Georgia."

Power APL, the company is also hosting the 2017 Georgia Power APL
Sweepstakes*. Simply pay your Georgia Power bill at an APL anytime
