[Q] Receiving repeatedly a Carrier SMS message

---

I don't know if this is the right place to post this problem, but here it goes. I got the HTC One X on France and brought it here to Brazil. I started using it and now I keep getting this annoying SMS text with the Carrier name and my area code. I called the carrier and they told me it's a phone problem, that it gets this message when connecting to the network. Anyone got this problem? It is very annoying, I get 50+ messages a day.

The number that appears to be sending the SMS is 50. I tried a few SMS Block apps and none has worked.

Any help will be appreciatted.

having the same problem mate.. brazil too.. very annoing.. someone help us!!

I solved with a bit drastic solution. I flashed the CM9 ROM from Trip over Modaco and the SMS messages stopped popping. I already wanted a pure Android experience and a rooted phone, so I flashed and got the solution to this problem as bonus.

MENSAGEM CB (recepcao de mensagens CB) .. só desabilitar... ate agora nao recebi nenhum SMS mais.. vamos ver

I thin kits that Carrier notification message that @antoniosergius
is referring to
I thought it would just scroll past screens like the old nokias used to do but appears they send you a message
Have not tried it myself but give it a go
Cant give you the exact path right now as phone is charging but play around in the Settings menu most likely either under Call or Mobile

Eu não tinha reparado nessa opção. No CM9 não tem essa opção, mas o problema definitivamente desapareceu. Depois você fala se resolveu o problema, caso eu volte pro ROM da HTC, é melhor sem essa mensagem irritante.
Outra coisa, eu reparei que quando eu deixava a rede para somente WCDMA, a mensagem não aparecia, só recebi as mensagens quando habilitava a opção "GSM/wCDMA Auto".

I didnt notice this setting. On CM9 I cant find this setting, but the annoying SMS from carrier is gone. Let me know if that solved the problem, if I flash the HTC Stock ROM back, it'll be a big plus having this issue gone. Just one more thing, I noticed that when I used the wCDMA only option for the mobile network, I didnt get any messages from the carrier, but when I set the option to "GSM/wCDMA auto", the messages started popping up again.

Try
Settings - Call - Cell Broadcast
