My phone just went crazy!

I think its great they alert for missing person or emergency. I dont mind, Iwould like to see more.

My smart phone I can turn that on and off under settings

Mine did it, I don't have a smart phone, I'm not amused.

If I want to know about an amber alert, I'll check the news. When I'm busy, indoors, working on a project, I'm quite likely not going to see a car that abducted someone - LEAVE ME ALONE!

Not sure who the question was aimed at, but I don't sign up for ANY alerts, just not my style.

The FCC took a number of steps in facilitating the ability of consumers to receive emergency alerts through their wireless phones. In 2008, the Commission issued a series of orders adopting requirements for a Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS), a system by which commercial mobile service (CMS) providers may transmit emergency alerts to their subscribers, if they choose to do so.

If I remember right, you can opt out of everything but "presidential" alerts.

Galaxy S3 under messaging then menu then settings you will get an option to turn it on and off

I think that's pretty cool. Nobody ever calls or texts me anyways so getting emergency alerts would be kind of neat. Mine didn't go off for the Amber alert.
