Amber Alerts

[bobnstpete]

I am curious if anyone with Metro PCS actually gets Amber Alerts on their phone? I have had Metro PCS since Nov 2013 and I have never received an alert. There have been quite a number of them in my area.

Check your settings in Messaging and see if they are turned on. The various types of alerts are selectable except for the Presidential ones.

I have done that with every phone I have had on Metro. I still get nothing. We have had Tornado warning here and friends on other networks get alerts and I don't. We have three phones and none of us get alerts. Tried dealing with Metro CS and that was a waste of time.

My Metro phone gets the various alert message just fine.

Im on Boost (Sprint) for daily carry. In Calif, have only been sent 1 since last Nov.
I don't believe all amber alerts are sent to phones.

The one I did get, so did everyone in the office. Different carriers, and staggered, it was chaotic

Thanks. Guess it is my location. Metro is no help at all.

From what I have read they need to be within a certain distance. I have had a few of them in my city and never got an alert.

I used to receive them, but now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen any in a long time and I do have that option enabled on my device.
