I have been receiving about 50 flash sms a day, with my service provider name, from the number 50.
As I read here, it might be a issue with activating and deactivating cell broadcast on the phone. However, I could not find the path suggested for the deactivation (Setting/Call/Other Call Settings).
The option does not exist on this path. also it became an irritation for me. Whenever I am doing something with my device, that flash message popped up and I get interrupted.
To try deactivating this I have tried all possible steps (By blocking/deleting/stopping notification) but nothing worked out. Any ideas how to get rid of this?
Mobile: HTC Desire 816
Android Version: 4.4.2 with sense 6.0
Thank you

Additionally, you might wish to check whether your device has a specific cell-broadcast app installed (as my LG has). – Izzy♦ Nov 23 '14 at 16:01
