The invention discloses a top-up electricity recovering device for an intelligent electric energy meter, an electric meter communication system, and a communication method. A data server searches forthe corresponding user ID according to the user data in a request operation instruction sent by a mobile terminal, verifies the validity of the user data, and returns an identity authentication instruction or an operation instruction to the mobile terminal through the Internet when the user data is valid. The mobile terminal transmits the identity authentication instruction or operation instruction to the top-up electricity recovering device for the intelligent electric energy meter for authentication processing or operation processing through the Bluetooth, feeds back the authentication result data or the operation result data to the mobile terminal through the Bluetooth. The mobile terminal sends the authentication result data or the operation result data to the data server through the Internet, and the mobile terminal is used as a communication transit platform to realize the data interaction between the top-up electricity recovering device and the data server, thereby greatly improving the success rate of top-up or electricity recovery for a user, and solving the problem that a current intelligent electric energy meter is too high in failure rate of remote top-up or electricityrecovery.
