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 have information on local
weather conditions, traffic reports, or stock market prices.
Please contact your network operator for a list and description
of available channels.
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.

example, press 5 to display the 5th message. If the message
does not exist,
