A method for providing a broadcasting-type short message in a radio communication system includes receiving a broadcasting-type short message, checking whether a password of a terminal manufacturing company exists in the received short message, and restoring the short message in the terminal if the password of the terminal manufacturing company exists. Preferably, the password is included in a first byte of the short message regardless of the length of the short message. If the password is included in the message, the terminal includes a display for displaying all or a portion of the information in the message. Through the use of this password, only terminals of the manufacturing company which sent the short message will be able to gain access the message. Terminals made by other manufacturing companies will be restricted from this access.
