As others have said, it's SIM-specific. The fact that it is 
frequently appearing /after/ powerup on the Motorola suggests that 
the Motorola is doing a frequent soft-reset (because it's software is 
buggy, the SIM isn't properly seated or because the phone has faulty 
hardware).

PS. This feature has absolutely nothing to do with "Flash" SMS
messages (SMS messages sent with a flag indicating they should be 
displayed immediately on receipt).
