Better yet, if you own an iPhone 4S or 5, with iOS version 6.1 or above, you can suppress these alerts.

Settings > Notifications > Government Alerts

Toggle OFF AMBER alerts and/or Emergency Alerts

This is why I don't keep my phone in my bedroom.

I received it as well. As far as sensitivity is concerned it is a horrible thing. However, I would rather the EBS be used to tell me when a tornado is bearing down on me while I sleep. At that time of night I'm not out and about where I can look for a car. It should have been done better and come over as a simple text message. Now you will have plenty of people like myself who will turn off that function and not be able to get subsequent messages that would maybe help someone out.

On an iPhone with iOS6, click "Settings", then "Notifications", scroll to the bottom where it says "Government Alerts" and toggle off the AMBER and Emergency Alerts.

I don't know how the others work.


thanks. I was thinking the same thing but thought that might be insensitive.

Does this mean my cell phone was connected to a tower in lower Manhattan?
