Amber alert opt out

[ZedKay]

I want to opt out of Amber alerts.

I have a Pixel 7.

I have the "Amber alerts" NOT checked in my settings , it shows an X. ( in wireless emergency alerts).

How can this be stopped?

This government mandate is only for LTE (4G and up). So a while back I switched my cellular settings to 3G to disable these alerts after I was woken up by one.

I forgot that I switched it back and was just woken up again when West Kelowna RCMP thought it wise to tell the whole province of BC in the middle of the night that a boy is with his mother… now I'm awake and writing letters to change this nonsense.

Back to 3G before bedtime from now on.

@ZedKay 

the Amber Alerts are sent and we can't stop them.

No, you cannot turn off AMBER Alerts in Canada

. The CRTC requires wireless service providers to broadcast all mandatory emergency alerts to compatible devices via LTE networks, and this system does not permit users to opt-out, even when phones are on silent or Do Not Disturb mode.
