Hi, why do I not receive emergency alerts by text like most everyone else I know. For example amber alerts or even recently I know most people received a text for curfew here in Quebec.

Is your phone set on LTE? Those alerts only work across LTE.

Your phone must be set on or be able to work on 4g LTE.

What OS?

What version?

Rooted/jailbroken?

iirc older phones had an ability to switch off receiving these alerts. But not sure.
