Area Information
Area information is SMS Cell Broadcasting.
An SMS cell broadcast allows information to be sent to all mobile handsets in a particular geo- graphic area. Information such as traffic news or local weather reports can be sent to an area cov- ered by a single cell or to the entire network.
Broadcast messages are organised into a number of channels, this allows different types of messages to be broadcast on different channels. Using the phone, users can choose which broadcast chan- nels to subscribe to. The requested text messages are received, the message either scrolls across the
standby screen or is placed in the Inbox. The user can choose if they want to save the message to the Inbox or not.
Broadcast subscriptions are controlled from the Area information dialog.
When a user is subscribed to channel 50, and this channel is supported by their network, the ID of the current cell (or group of cells) is displayed under- neath the network operator name in the phone dis- play. This is often the telephone area code or postal code of the current location.
