i already get “emergency weather alerts” on my iphone and it’s annoying when i get pinged every 15 minutes last week during a tornado and flood warning.

nothing i can do if it really is time for me to “check out”

Because the other “Emergency Alert” system works so well? Was it even used during 911?

More wasteful spending from Der Dufus.

Recall that the 1984 Telescreen was two way. We know Obama is watching your phone. What would make people think he cannot also send you a message. It is the only way to keep order in Oceania.

Original source at Endgadget:

http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/15/att-wireless-emergency-alerts-iphone-4s-5/

AT&T issues Wireless Emergency Alerts update to iPhone 4S, 5

“Once installed, AMBER and Emergency alerts are automatically sent to your phone unless you switch them off via Settings. However, should you be tired of Obama, just know that there’s no way to switch off Presidential alerts.”

“. . . that you can't turn off.”

Want to bet! Break the damn iphone in half and watch how fast it gets turned off!

I’d be OK with that if I could reply with F.U. to each message.

Obama listens in on Verizon and speaks on AT&T?

I retired 18 months ago and still kept my iPhone...come February, I’m going cold turkey - nada....gone. I’m gonna sell all my iPhones to one of them online re-packagers and document it to the hilt...who knows? They may end up with Abdul, or Mohammed or Ishtar - whoever, and I can show the FBI all the paperwork....

Tired of paying out the a$$ to stay connected to crap.
