English term or phrase: credit meter & prepayment meter
Colegas,
Encontrei estes termos neste contexto:
“... in addition you have two alternative ways of paying for the electricity you use:
via a “prepayment meter” and a “credit meter”.
Agradecia uma ajuda com a tradução dos mesmos.

contador de credito / contador de pre-pagamento
Explanation:
To me, "meter" is "contador" in PT-PT, at least.
As a child I remember the man coming "para medir o contador" do gas electricidade etc.

Colega Paula Vaz-Carreiro,
Muito agradecido pela tradução dos termos. Encontrei de facto no Internet “contador do tipo pré-pagamento” e daqui deduzi “contador do tipo crédito” que acho talvez adequado para o segundo term.
Agradeço também aos colegas que apoiaram assim como aos que colaboraram.
