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!
