HI @El-Tabador 

yes, Alert test today for Canada, except Quebec.

Remember, these amber alerts apparently only work when a phone is connected to the LTE or 5G network and on devices that are WPA compatible. (ie, you won't get the alert if you were connected to 3G network only)

Confirm.   Positive
