How can I know if a used mobile phone is stolen?

Hello everybody!
I am about to buy a used Nokia cell phone. The problem is that I want to be sure that the original owner of the phone hasn't stole that product. Simply because I don't want to buy a stolen phone.
So, my question is; is there any database or any way that will allow me to check if this cell phone is stolen or regulary bought.
Thanks for anyone that can help!

As I said, it depends on the country.
In the UK there is an online database of stolen mobiles serial numbers, not sure about elsewhere.
Nice option, will be glad if it starts in other countries like ours.

    This information is not available. If you have any misgivings, change your password at http://appleid.apple.com - it should be at least 8 characters - 12 would be better - of which one must be a capital letter and one a numeral. No punctuations signs, and no real words.

  • How Can I send SMS to a Mobile Phone within Oracle

    How Can I send SMS to a Mobile Phone within Oracle

    It depends on how you are planning to use this feature.
    You can set up a mobile using special software in order to interface to it programatically - you can then, via this software interface, use this mobile to send SMS's.
    Some service providers support an e-mail interface. Where you send the SMS as a the e-mail content and the mobile number as the recipient's address, or as the subject of the e-mail. However, many service providers have long since stopped providing this type of mail interface due to abuse. Remember that service providers are there to make money - not offer one a service via bulk SMS's can be send.
    Some service providers have dial-up servers that works like the old style bulletin board systems (BBS's) of the 90's. You use a telnet like interface, dial into this BBS, and is prompted for mobile number, message to deliver, and even delivery confirmation. You can expect the cost of this phone call to this system, to also cover the cost of sending the SMS.
    Some companies provide a software server to interface with one or more service providers - this allows you to fairly easily use this server gateway to send SMS's for you. Such a gateway server will typically support a telnet interface - allowing you to send SMS's via it from inside PL/SQL.
    I've used all these options, and I've found the best one to be the last option. It is the easiest to use from a programming perspective. It comes with various management and reporting tools. So you need to do the very minimal in managing this whole SMS interface.

  • How can I know if the used macbook air I want to buy has been stolen?

    Hi!
    I'm looking to buy a used MacBook Air 11 inch - mid 2013. I have the serial number, but I can't find the date of purchase. The seller is not the first owner, he doesn't have the bill or any papers, he doesn't know when the original owner bought it, and he doesn't how to reach him either. When I try to look at the infos on https://selfsolve.apple.com/RegisterProduct.do?productRegister=Y&country=FRA&id= C02M5570F5N7, the site gives me the model and it ask me to confirm de date of purchase. LIke this:
    Is it safe to buy this computer or not?
    Thank you!

    I concur with Barry Hemphill.
    In the USA, if the property is determined to have been stolen, it must be surrendered by the individual in possession of it with no compensation.
    The circumstances you describe are too suspicious.
    Ciao.

  • How can I see Exchange Groups using a phone/tablet App?

    Hey guys,
    Is there an App that allows me to View/Edit AD/Exchange Groups?
    Thanks

    We already have AD Manager and that's not what we are looking for, we don;t want to manage groups with tablets/phones, we want people to be able to see them with their phones/tablets and if somebody is the owner he/she will have permission to edit it.
    For example, we have a group called Board Members and we want all our senior managers to see this group, email them if they need to and the owner of the group will have access to change the info in it.
    Thanks,

  • Hi anybody there who can help me ha..? My phone 5s was stolen 1 month ago..Find my phone is no a big deal, How can i know whether my phone is in use??

    Hi anybody there who can help me ha..? My phone 5s was stolen 1 month ago..Find my phone is no a big deal bcz it seems to be wiped out all data including settings. it might be in use somewhere turning new fresh Gadget.  How can i know whether my phone is in use??

    You would know for a fact if the device is in use, but if you go back to the find my iPhone app in iCloud.com, you can either select to erase it, or place it in lost mode, in which case, once the device makes a connection to the internet, it will automatically go into that mode.

    Hi Jimmy,
    Consider the below example
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
    SELECT * FROM all_objects;
    UPDATE FIRST
    SET object_name = 'TEST'
    WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
    CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
    It has not used index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 2265626682
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'emp';
    This has used the index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 1184810458
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    | 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
    would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
    we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
    scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
    ='emp';
    2.
    If we have a query like below.
    select * from emp
    where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
    Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
    Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));
    Regards,
    Cool

  • How can i know if my query is using the index ?

    Hello...
    How can i know if my query is using the index of the table or not?
    im using set autotrace on...but is there another way to do it?
    thanks!

    Hi,
    You can use Explain Plan for checking that your query is using proper index or not. First you need to check that Plan_table is installed in your database or not. If it is not there THEN THE SCRIPT WILL BE LIKE THIS:
    CREATE TABLE PLAN_TABLE (
    STATEMENT_ID VARCHAR2 (30),
    TIMESTAMP DATE,
    REMARKS VARCHAR2 (80),
    OPERATION VARCHAR2 (30),
    OPTIONS VARCHAR2 (30),
    OBJECT_NODE VARCHAR2 (128),
    OBJECT_OWNER VARCHAR2 (30),
    OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2 (30),
    OBJECT_INSTANCE NUMBER,
    OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2 (30),
    OPTIMIZER VARCHAR2 (255),
    SEARCH_COLUMNS NUMBER,
    ID NUMBER,
    PARENT_ID NUMBER,
    POSITION NUMBER,
    COST NUMBER,
    CARDINALITY NUMBER,
    BYTES NUMBER,
    OTHER_TAG VARCHAR2 (255),
    PARTITION_START VARCHAR2 (255),
    PARTITION_STOP VARCHAR2 (255),
    PARTITION_ID NUMBER,
    OTHER LONG,
    DISTRIBUTION VARCHAR2 (30))
    TABLESPACE SYSTEM NOLOGGING
    PCTFREE 10
    PCTUSED 40
    INITRANS 1
    MAXTRANS 255
    STORAGE (
    INITIAL 10240
    NEXT 10240
    PCTINCREASE 50
    MINEXTENTS 1
    MAXEXTENTS 121
    FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 )
    NOCACHE;
    After that write the following command in the SQL prompt.
    Explain plan for (Select statement);
    Select level, SubStr( lpad(' ',2*(Level-1)) || operation || ' ' ||
    object_name || ' ' || options || ' ' ||
    decode(id, null , ' ', decode(position, null,' ', 'Cost = ' || position) ),1,100)
    || ' ' || nvl(other_tag, ' ') Operation
    from PLAN_TABLE
    start with id = 0
    connect by
    prior id = parent_id;
    This will show how the query is getting executed . What are all the indexes it is using etc.
    Cheers.
