Area Information

Area information is SMS Cell Broadcasting.

An SMS cell broadcast allows information to be sent to all mobile phones in a particular geographical area. Information such as traffic news or local weather reports can be sent to an area covered 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 broadcasted on different channels. Using the phone, users can choose which broadcast channels 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 to save the message to the Inbox or not.
