Cell Broadcast Messages
These are general messages, broadcast to a group of phones and
can only be received when your phone is in standby mode.
These messages are broadcast in numbered 'channels' and, in
general, each channel will tend to carry one particular type of
information.
Typical cell broadcast channels could have information on local
weather conditions, traffic reports or stock market prices. Please
contact your network operator for a list of available channels and
the information they supply.
When the message has scrolled across the display, the beginning
of the message will be shown until you either remove it or a new
message arrives.
How to Read SMS Messages
You can use the scroll keys (
M, < and >) to scroll
through messages in either the Received Messages or Outgoing
Messages lists.

does not exist, Invalid Msg Number will be displayed.
