LoadCentral Android App 2019-Oct-09 Version

Good news LoadCentral Retailers!

The latest version of the LoadCentral Android app is now available for download. LoadCentral retailers can now transact online using their android mobile phones in a breeze! No need to memorize the product codes.

Please go to bit.ly/LC_AndroidApp to download the app on Google Play Store.

Kindly note that the SMS feature is not available due to changes in the Google Play Store permission policy.

Here is the solution/answer to the issues raised by the early users of the latest version:

Your device isn’t compatible with this version error in google play:
The new app version only supports Android version 8.0 and above.

Incorrect login credentials:
Login password is the same with the old version, it should be FL (SMS) password.

Account is already paired with another device:
Probably, your retailer account / Device ID is still linked to the old version of the app. To reset the android app usage, compose this message RESETDROID "FL/SMS password" (example: RESETDROID 123456) then send it to the LoadCentral access number 09229990214 using your LoadCentral registered sim

Do we need personal load or internet connection to be able to use the app?
The application requires you to have an internet connection.

Is it instant just like the webtool? Or with delays like when sending SMS keywords?
SMS-based functionalities have not been included in the new version due to some changes on Google’s permission and policy. The new version should perform like the webtool since the app is using data/internet to connect to the LoadCentral system.

Will it display the PIN details just like on the webtool?
Same with the old version, the PIN will not be displayed on the new version.

Is it available on IOS?
Unfortunately, it is not.

Tips to protect your LoadCentral account from being hacked

The LoadCentral webtool is using the “https” protocol. The ‘s’ means ‘secure’. But with today’s technological advances, no system is secure anymore. Even banks and highly secured facilities are hacked. But with due diligence coupled with these tips, your LoadCentral account should be safe.

Change Password Regularly
Regularly change your FL (First Level) and SL (Second Level) passwords after you have been registered as a Dealer, SubDealer or a Retailer. FL and SL passwords should not be the same.

Be warry of phishing sites

Be warry of phishing sites

Do not share your passwords
The more people know your log in details, the more vulnerable your account is.

Use static IP address
You can set the “Web IP Address” from your profile to Static type. This means you can only log in the webtool from your predefined IP address. Only do this when your IP address does not change regularly. Otherwise, use the Dynamic type.

Set the LoadCentral Security Key Authenticator
One great feature of LoadCentral is the Security Key. It is an additional level of protection from hacking your account. It is a six (6) digit number generated from a security application (downloadable to a PC or Android phone) that will be used to authenticate the user on every login. Each number is randomly generated and unique that is valid only within 1 hour after the key is generated. The generated code has to be entered before logging in. So even if hackers know your passwords, they also need to have your unique key that was generated within 1 hour before they could access your account. But be sure to read and follow the instructions very well. We have received a lot of reports that even the account owners could not access their accounts because they did not follow the instructions OR forgot their security keys.

Scan Computer and Phone for Keyloggers
Check for keyloggers installed on your PC, tablets and phone by using Anti-spyware utilities to avoid any unauthorized access of your accounts. Make sure that your virus definitions are always up-to-date.

Do not log in public PC
Do not log your LoadCentral account in public computers and internet cafes. Most of the computers have keyloggers installed on them and the web browsers, like chrome and firefox, are setup to save your username and passwords.

Beware of Phishers and Hackers
LoadCentral will NOT ask for your passwords. Do not trust anyone on social networks (ie. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc) that ask you to log in a link to receive free walletload credits. If you received a similar request in your email, delete it immediately. Be suspecious. The only official link of the LoadCentral webtool is https://loadcentral.net and nothing else!

Avoid installing cracked software
Almost all of these are full of viruses and keyloggers. Install software and applications from reputable sources only.

Only install the Android App developed by Uniwiz
A lot of android apps that are being used by retailers and subdealers are developed by third-party companies and developers. You do not know what is happening in the background when you use these apps. An unscrupulous developer can save your username and passwords then use it later on to access your account. It is the same modus used by phishing sites. That is why it is strongly recommended to install the app developed by Uniwiz only.

Beware of ‘eyeloggers’
Be aware of onlookers. They usually observe and memorize your username and password. When logging in the webtool and there are people around you, you can protect your login details by covering or partially concealing your keyboard.

Feel free to comment to add more tips. Sharing is caring!

Please make sure that the mobile number is compatible with the eLoad product you selected. Use Globe Amax for Globe numbers, Touch Mobile Amax for Touch Mobile numbers and Smart eLoad for Smart or Talk N’ Text Numbers.
