They've never given me any information that's relevant or useful and they're annoying. And apparently not overly difficult to spoof.


Perhaps you are thinking of other kinds/levels of alerts?

Was there ever a Presidential Alert before that test? Can they be disabled?

> Was there ever a Presidential Alert before that test?

I can recall two presidential alerts, both tests. This affirms my point about not getting anything useful.

I guess that depends on your phone. I've been able to on Android.
