MESSAGES

Cell broadcast messages

To select whether you want the cell broadcast op-

tion to be on or off you must enter the

Message

setup

menu and select

Broadcast setup

(see page 31).

These are general messages broadcast to a group

of telephones and are available to network sub-

scribers only. Cell broadcast messages are typi-

cally local weather and traffic reports, stock mar-

ket prices, sports results etc. If you have selected

Roaming

, i.e. if you are abroad and connected

to a foreign network (see page 26), you may be

able to receive cell broadcast messages from

other networks, too.

The messages are transmitted in numbered chan-

nels and in general each channel will contain in-

formation of the same type. Cell broadcast mes-

sages may be sent out in different languages.

Contact your network operator for further details.

Cell broadcast channel list

To be able to receive cell broadcast messages you

have to set up a list of the channels from which

you want to receive information. See page 31 for

how to set up this list and to specify what kind of

information you wish to receive.

How to read a cell broadcast message

A cell broadcast message is scrolled twice on

the display at the time of reception. If you don’t

see it at that time, you can read it via the List

menu system by pressing , selecting

Messages

and then

Broadcasts

The display will show the Broadcast ID number

and you can thus identify the kind of message

received. Messages are read in exactly the same

way as Point-to-point messages. A read message

will be marked by √.

In addition to reading the message, you can either

– delete it

– store it on your SIM card

– forward it to another phone number

– extract a phone number, if any, from the mes-

sage to call or to store in your phone book

1. Press

OPTION

2. Select the option you wish to enter and

confirm by pressing

3. The display will guide you through the

next steps.

A cell broadcast message will be deleted when

you switch off your telephone - even if the mes-

sage has not been read.
