Emergency alert messages
About emergency alert messages
If your wireless service provider participates in Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN), you might receive emergency
alert messages in your message inbox or your emergency alert message inbox on your BlackBerry smartphone. PLAN is a
new public safety system that allows customers who own an enabled mobile device to receive geographically-targeted,
text-like messages alerting them of imminent threats to safety in their area.
Depending on your wireless service provider, emergency alert messages don't contribute to data usage in your wireless
service plan. Depending on your smartphone model and wireless network, this feature might not be supported. For more
information, contact your wireless service provider or administrator.
