About cell broadcasting
Cell broadcasting is designed to enable wireless service providers to use SMS text messaging to send information to all
BlackBerry® devices in a specific geographical area simultaneously. You can receive cell broadcast messages that contain a
specific type of information by subscribing to a cell broadcast channel that provides that type of information. Different cell
broadcast channels send different cell broadcast messages. For example, one cell broadcast channel might send regular
weather forecasts while another might send traffic reports.
Turn on cell broadcasting
To perform this task, your BlackBerry® device must use a SIM card, and your wireless service provider must set up your SIM
card with a cell broadcast channel or provide you with the ID for a cell broadcast channel.
Depending on your wireless service provider and the wireless network that your device is connected to, this feature might not
be supported.
1. On the Home screen or in a folder, click the Options icon.
2. Click Device > Advanced System Settings > Cell Broadcast Settings.
3. Select the Cell Broadcasting Service check box.
• If one or more cell broadcast channels appear on the screen, select the check box beside the channel.
