How to fix your blackberry problem
In British Columbia, we have a HANDS-FREE set of rules that came into law a few months ago. For the majority of us (full license drivers), it meant we must use a hands-free (a.k.a. blue tooth) device to answer or place calls on our cellular phones while driving. Reading or replying to TEXT messages is still a NO-NO but this blog is not about that portion of the new law- it is about bluetooth and a problem that can affect your blackberry
This last week, I got into my vehicle and turned on the Visor mount bluetooth before starting out. I heard the connection beep and thought all was fine.
Away I go to start work for the day still thinking all is fine.
Calls are comming in which I answered via my visor mount bluetooth- All still appears to be fine.
I tried to make a voice-dial call via my visor mount bluetooth- All is NOT fine. The call did not go out. The nice -sexy voice did not ask for my command. Something is wrong!!
I pulled over and looked at my cellphone. It is a blackberry- ( the reason for this blog ) and it says "Initilizing....please wait"....so I waited..and waited..and waited but nothing happened.
"Oh", I thought.. maybe the bluetooth needs to be charged (even though I had not received the sexy-voice reminding me that the battery was low). So I charged the bluetooth that night and started over the next day.
Hmmm.. maybe I should try a test call before I head out.
Guess what?? Same problem.
Ok.. let's try my earpiece bluetooth which is a great stand-by unit. Same problem.
Now I have gone into FULL investigator mode and need to find the answer as there is no way I want to be caught making calls while driving and adding $185.00 fines to my budget. It is bad enough we have toll bridges but that is another story (see our previous blogs).
Today- in full- 100% investigator mode with a "geek mode" add on, I took on the problem as I was not about to go to the local cell provider store and be made to feel silly if the problem is simple.
I checked all my settings. Yes- voice dial is active.
I check to be sure that bluetooth was in sync (paired) and it was finding the correct one.
I deleted the bluetooth settings and paired it again.
Still no luck!! What else could it be?
Two hours later, a light came in in my head. Could it be that the battery in my two year old blackberry was too weak. Simple test for that- plug in the power and see if it will work that way. Answer- NOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Hmm.. what else. It is not a bluetooth device problem. It is not a power or setting problem. What is left.?
Click!!. Since it is not hardware (covered all that above), then it it must be either software or the phone has just bit the dust. For the sake of the pocket book- PRAY for software- PLEASE!!!
I then went to http://www.blackberry.com/update (I suggest you write the URL down if you are using a blackberry) I hit the CHECK FOR UPDATES button and let it do it's thing and.............
YES!!!! there are updates and they are SOFTWARE updates.- Follow the instructions; read the prompts and be ready to plug in your blackberry when it says to.
Well, the long and short of the next 45 minutes is.. the latest software update not only fixed my voice dial problem but also updated a lot of other programs at the same time.
You will notice, however, (at least I did) that the first voice dial call took a bit longer as it had to find the Address book but that took all of maybe 10 seconds. After that- status-normal
I hope this helps a lot of blackberry users that have had the same problem. I noticed on some forums that many people had this problem but nobody seemed to have an answer.

TollFree Protector
As promised, here is the scoop on the TollFree protector.
TollFree Protector is a licence plate cover that prevents high angle mounted toll road cameras from getting a clear shot of your plate.
The Price at first seemed a bit high but when we looked at the cost of the transponder rental plus the toll charges, it was a no-brainer that this product SHOULD save us money in very short order.
The area of useage / testing only has 1 toll bridge at the present time but more are on the way.
The average cost per month for the transponder plus toll fees charged to my credit card was higher than the cost of the TollFree Protector and that was after putting one on the front and rear of the test vehilce.
Once more toll bridges are in place, ..well..I don't think you need me to do the math.
Until the middle of April, this product is on our Specials page so get it now before the EXTRA savings end.

Test of PhotoFog
Global PI Supply has completed testing of the OnTrack Automotive accessory product PhotoFog
Our results have shown that the product is easy to spray on to your license plate; is not visible to the naked eye and - YES- it works.
There have been numerous situations where we could have encountered a ticket but nothing has shown up to say we been a bad driver.
Granted, we have not openly thumbed our nose at the rules of the road but there have been situations where a ticket could have been granted to us for those slightly over the speed limit (we will never say how much over but it was enough) scenarios and it would appear that we are in the clear.
We will never encourange un-safe driving but there are times on the open road where you have the highway to yourself and the safe opportunity to clear out those injectors. It just makes sense.
For more information on this very in-expensive accessory, visit http://www.globalpisupply.com/products/photofog.htm
Did we mention that in celebration of how well this product works, we have added it to our Specials page until later this month?
Stay tuned for our update on the "TollFree Protector"

Cost of Running Real Time GPS
One of the biggest draw backs of running a Real Time GPS tracking system is the monthly access fees that many systems charge. It for that reason that we carry the GPS 600 Real Time tracking system. Your costs are very simple and definitely made to order.
1-Purchase price: $399.95 plus a small 1 time set up fee (activation) of $65.00
2-Once you gave the unit, simply sign on and pay $39.95 per month for UNLIMITED access.
3-Here is good best part- NO CONTRACTS-You can renew by logging in any time you need the system and pay just for that month.
4- Here is the best part: If you are a PI, you can have the unit on hand and charge your clients for the useage as needed ie: It is a money maker and not costing you anything while it is not being utilized.
