Check Bank Account balance through Miss Call and SMS

Missed Call Service to know Account Balance


Apart from ATM and Internet Banking, You can check your Bank Account Balance through Miss call and SMS. It also worked for sundays

Some Banks introduced missed call service for customers which allows to retrieve bank account details, Mini statement etc. by simply giving missed call to their toll free numbers.


How it works


Give two ring missed call on the toll number provided.

On receiving a missed call from a registered phone number, the underlying App performs a phone number lookup and sends the data to the caller via text message(SMS).

The only thing is that you must register your mobile for SMS alert or mobile banking

Introduction:


Excel VBA allows us to send emails from Excel. In this article i am going to explain about this.

We can use a VBA macro to create/send a new message and preset any of the fields, including To/CC/BCC, the subject, flags, voting options and more.

Steps:


1. Open Excel, and press Alt+F11 (this will open a new window Visual Basic Editor)

2. Select Tool option in the main menubar >> and then select References

3. Select Microsoft Outlook 14.0 Object Library or higher version reference

4. Click on Insert >> Module and then paste the below code


Code:
Sub Sendmail()

    Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
    Dim olMail As Outlook.MailItem
    
    Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set olMail = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    
    With olMail
        .To = "xyz@abc.com"
        .CC = "wxy@abc.com"
        .Subject = "Automated email from Excel"
        .Body = "Hi, This is test Email"
        .Display
        '.Send
    End With
    
    Set olApp = Nothing
    Set olMail = Nothing
