S6 Edge works slightly different for "Disable Samsung Galaxy S6 Cell Broadcast messages  "

You need to go to settings -> Applications -> Messages -> More Settings -> Cell Boradcast & Make it OFF

The S6 2016 also works this way. All cell broadcast gave me was the land line dialing code and funny noises in the middle of the night!

It works, make sure to set it on "enable" as emergency messages come this way as well.
