Cell Broadcast
Posts: n/a broadcast services which display the local area dialling code on your phone display ? Voda do this on channel 51, but I have switched to O2 and want to know if I can still get it. The phone screen does not look right without it, even if it is totally useless. Cheers Lofty  Responses to "Cell Broadcast"

Looks like I will have to cope without it - but thanks for the advice anyway - appreciated. Lofty
