Receiving Area Information

This chapter describes how you can make your phone available for Area Information (AI).This service is network dependent.

Area Information

While the SMS function is a personal service with messages directed to you, the Area Information is a broadcast type message that is sent to all subscribers in a certain cell, for example a section of a city, at the same time. You can set your phone to receive only those types of messages you want to listen to, e.g. the local weather forecast or the local traffic report. Each message is identified by a 3-digit code. Check with your service provider for which message types are available in your network.
