A Few pointers when setting up My Optus

Log in with your My Account details and select ‘remember me’ for easy WiFi login, later. https://www.optus.com.au/customercentre/myaccount/registration

Or,

Turn off WiFi and try again.

Why do I need to turn off WiFi?
For your privacy, the My Optus app securely transmits data using your SIM card, ensuring that the information provided is only about your mobile number.

When you're on a WiFi network, we cannot access your SIM card, so we ask that you turn off WiFi or log in using your My Account details. You only need to enter your My Account details once - simply select ‘remember me' for one-click access.

✔ Credit Card payments are all secured with 128 bit encryption.
✔ Requires Android 2.2 or above.
✔ If you’re on a small business fleet plan that includes call, text or data value sharing across multiple services the usage information may not be accurate.
✔ Note that My Optus does not work with Optus corporate mobile services.
★ Mobile data charges may apply for downloading from the App Store if done over the mobile network. International roaming charges apply for using the service overseas.

Fires Near Me NSW

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:35:20 +0000

This is the official Android application of the NSW Rural Fire Service.

This application provides information on current incidents across NSW attended by the RFS and other agencies. It also provides information on total fire bans.

The application gives users the ability to source information on incidents near them, using the ‘Fires Near Me’ function.
The ‘Fires near Me’ application is a pilot, and as such its features may vary. Support for the application is not provided due to its inherent simplicity. More information may be found http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au .
Your feedback, however, is gratefully sought, and will help us develop an even more useful way of giving you information on fires near you. Please send any feedback here: mobilefeedback@rfs.nsw.gov.au .

For further information, please see http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au .

Features
Initially centres the map of NSW on your Current Position.

Allows you to choose another location, e.g. the destination for your weekend holiday, and centres on that location.

Lets you know if there is a fire within 50 km of your location.

Displays any fires within a 10 km radius of your location.

Allows you to see a list of the bush fires in NSW, sorted by their proximity to your location—the closest being sorted to the top of the list.

Tap on the fire and you will see some information about the fire. Tap on the arrow (“>“) and you will see the list of bush fires in NSW.

Top on the arrow (“>“) of a fire within the list of bush fires, you will see a screen of more details on that particular fire.

Tap the map button from the Details page and the map page appears centred on that fire.

If a Total Fire Ban is active for today or tomorrow for your location, the Total Fire Ban symbol appears on the screen to warn you of this.

Fires are listed by the name of the nearest town or village, if available. This makes it easier for you to recognise where it is, so that you can avoid it!

PREPARE. ACT. SURVIVE. Have a Bush Fire Survival Plan and keep up to date on fires in your area.
