25. Using Area Inform tion

This feature may not be available on all net- works. In addition, a special subscription may be required to use the service.

The ordinary Short Message Service can be said to be a personal service, with messages specifically and exclusively directed to you. The Area Information (AI) is another, impersonal, type of Short Message which is sent to all subscribers in a certain cell of a network at the same time.

The AI is displayed immediately, unless you are engaged in a call. The information may be a local road report or a local taxi phone number. Each type of message is identified by a 3-digit code. At present, the following message types exist:

Code Title
