@mi60, you mean to set to LTE? You have to set the network type to LTE and not HSPA in order to receive those Police Alert, as per @computergeek541. If you have a Pixel phone, go to "Settings", go to "Network and Internet", tap on the SIM card that should say Public Mobile, and then tap on "Preferred network type" and choose "LTE" which is selected by default anyway. I had received an Amber Alert fine since being a Public Mobile customer.
@mi60 : Maybe your misread the idea. If you set it to 3G/WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA then you _won't_ get the alerts. It would seem to me you wanted to get them. Or maybe your phone doesn't have LTE. In which case you won't anyway.
@mi60 Did you ever receive Police alert on this phone before? For my phone, I don't receive it all the time. I usually receive them but missed once or twice. But I really never pay attention to it
I live in Alberta, the police issued a alert this afternoon, all my friends received it on their phone, but I didn't, what could be the reason?
While the alert is active, you would need to be connected to the LTE network. If you have your phone set to only connect to the HSPA network or if you're currently in a phone call, you will not receive these alerts.
