Cell broadcasting

About cell broadcasting
Cell broadcasting is designed to enable wireless service providers to use SMS text messaging to send information
to all BlackBerry smartphones in a specific geographical area simultaneously. You can receive cell broadcast
messages that contain a specific type of information by subscribing to a cell broadcast channel that provides that
type of information. Different cell broadcast channels send different cell broadcast messages. For example, one cell
broadcast channel might send regular weather forecasts while another might send traffic reports.
Turn on cell broadcasting
To perform this task, your BlackBerry smartphone must use a SIM card, and your wireless service provider must set
up your SIM card with a cell broadcast channel or provide you with the ID for a cell broadcast channel.
Depending on your wireless service provider and the wireless network that your smartphone is connected to, this
feature might not be supported.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
