Hi there everybody!

Have you noticed if you used 0 or 9 as the first digit of your lock code it would not appear as an asterisk but as the digit itself,( unlike the 1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, they would appear as an asterisk ) TRY it and see for yourself. Well, that’s life!!!

yeah... I guess there are a lot of poms (sorry English people) who don't know about the international emergency numbers.

999 was always a bad choice in the UK, especially in the old days of rotary dial phones. 9 was the second longest number for the person to dial as it took so long for the dial to return to the position where you could dial the next number... and you had to do that 3 times! Not what you want in an emergency!

When mobile phones came and people didn't lock their keypads often numbers were called (and still are) by mistake while in pockets etc. Its very likely if the number accidentally dialled is 9 there is a good choice that it will be dialled multiple times. An emergency number of different digits is always a better choice IMGO.
