Not receiving Broadcast / Operator Notification Messages

[Snowbird]

I have the oddest problem. I'm using a GSM phone that is able to receive/send normal SMS messages, but not flash SMS messages (i.e. broadcast notification messages that are received from my MNO informing me that I have a vMail waiting). I have done some investigating and as far as the modem is concerned, everything seems in order.

AT+CPMS=?
+CPMS: ("MT","ME","SM","BM"),("MT","ME","SM"),("MT","ME","SM","BM")

AT+CSMS?

+CSMS: 0,1,1,1

AT+CSCB?
+CSCB: 1,"",""

AT+CMGF?
+CMGF: 0

I have listed the SMS that are stored in memory -- all of which are in PDU format -- and translated them, but there are no traces of any of the flash messages. So where are they and how can I recover them?

AT+CNMI? Results in
+CNMI: 1,0,0,0,0

Is it safe to assume that if the <mt> is 0, that it's normal that I'm not receiving the notification messages? Is this the problem?

Any ideas at all what this problem can be and whether or not there's a workaround/something else to check?

Hi,

Flash messages are only displayed on the mobile phones screen, they are not stored into the memory, so you can not receive them this way,
