I am also not sure, but on an Android phone, for example, it shows up
somewhat similar to what most of us call flash messages.

From tracing on isimodem on the Nokia N900, it seemed to be plain ASCII,
i.e. one byte-per-character. Unfortunately this message is carrier
initiated, so I don't have an easy way to get them to send it at will.

When I eventually get to it, I guess I will start by testing with
commenting out the code that checks for the src/dst port, and see where
things go.
