Was in Florence a couple about a month ago and I think I got about 10 cell broadcast messages with the content FI32402.
Searching google proved to be pretty pointless and I assume that the FI part stands for Firenze, the rest is a complete mystery.
Anyone good any ideas about what it could mean?
Update 1
- My phone had two different sims, both prepaid from EU (Vodafone DE and Orange RO) but none from Italy so was in roaming with both.
- Traveled to other cities in Italy but didn't receive any other messages.
- Can not remember which provider I was using while in Florence.
Update 2
- Was there with someone else who also had two sims one from Vodafone RO and another from LaPoste FR and didn't receive any messages.
