Cell broadcast

Your network may provide cell broadcast features where
news, travel information and special offers in your current
vicinity are sent to your phone using text messages. If you
subscribe to such a service, your network informs you of
the available channels, of which you can choose any five.
Activating cell broadcast involves three main steps:
• [1] Define your channel list,
• [2] Switch each channel on,
• [3] Enable the cell broadcast feature.
Note: Monitoring cell broadcasts reduces standby battery
time.
