Not getting emergency messages via GSM..?

@Talkless
Hi, you are probably searching for Cell Broadcast:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_BroadcastI don't know if it is supported by UT.

It is not currently.

@Talkless yes we need that feature, call for volonteers

Strange, because it seems I received a Cell Broadcast message few days ago about COVID19.
Are there different kind of implementation ?I received the message after turning off the flight mode after a good night sleep

@domubpkm
Mine was from a 5 digit number.Mine too as a matter of fact
And yes only once.Cell towers are supposed to acknowledge for the phone the message has been delivered to if I understand it right. So maybe you have a bad cell coverage or something else happened in your case.
[Edit] Oups don't trust my memory

That was an SMS then.

@AppLee I don't know what that is, other than I can see it is obviously not a web site. However, cell broadcast is indeed not supported in UT at the moment. Any message you would have received must either be an SMS or MMS.
-
@dobey
Alright, thanks for the clarification. -
I too did get message.. the next day, and I believe that was regular SMS. Probably worked as a fallback?
-
Yes, I'm sure this isn't supported yet on UT.
I remember earlier this year we had an issue with a volcano and there was a time where everyone's phone in the office randomly rings loudly because of the emergency messages except me LOL -

issue with a volcano
Damn, now that's quite some issue

@Talkless 2020 has been really an eventful year so far and our country's theme has been face masks (ashfall and now virus). I guess emergency messages are important now more than ever
Anyone up for the challenge? I wonder if it's quite trivial or a complicated thing to do. Does ofono already support it? -
@kugiigi See https://github.com/rilmodem/ofono/search?q=cell&type= - there is a lot of code and even tests inside, so I would assume its at least somehow working.
-
Okay it seems the cell broadcast is not implemented for the rilmodem driver, so yes, there would be some work to be done for the rild interface.
-
@Flohack They also need to be handled specially in the rest of the system. There's no UI to present them, etc… and should not appear in messaging-app.
-
@dobey Yeah agree. Its basically a feature-implementation through the whole middleware stack. Fun to do if you have nothing else to do lol.

Yeah and how would you actually test it..?
