Cell broadcasting About cell broadcastingCell 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.

be supported.

2. Click  Device > Advanced System Settings  > Cell Broadcast Settings .

 key > Add Channel . Type
the channel ID and a nickname. Click  OK.
4. Select the check box beside a language.
5. Press the 
 key >  Save.

location.
