This Is How You Get People To Stop Texting While Driving

[QUOTE=Oscar Lima Echo;45055136]In Norway, the police can send out mass texts to areas they choose, it's quite possible they got help from the police/service provider, but with the bazillion camera angles it's a bit hard to believe.[/QUOTE]

I'm reasonably sure that those are sent out from the cell towers directly via the carriers. in which case an alert will cover several square miles.

IIRC the range can be set as it needs to give different messages to different areas that are affected by the gas.
