    Presidential Alerts

    Can it be turned off? They better not start sending them out every time Trump gets gassy at 4am....

    If i was a terrorist I would have planned an attack at the same time as the test alert today.

    Nope, big brother will not allow you to turn it off. The only way to stop it is to keep your phone turned off.

    The less the better, when it comes to govt. Hopefully the system does not get hacked and replace the alert tone with that horrible laugh of Hilliary, I would have to get rid of my phone after that and go back to a beeper.

    I got two of them 1 at 1:18 and the next 2 minutes later. Really surprised because I was around Iraan, TX and cell service is pretty spotty.
