Also, I believe this specific type of alert cannot be disabled in the U.S. This is the “dear taxpayer, nuclear war has just broken out and you’re gonna die horribly but we wanted you to have some time to have regrets” alert.

I have a number of other reports, mostly though not all, from the broadcast engineering community; nobody reported expecting a CMAS and not getting it, so that's not data here. Is anyone on the list involved with the FEMA/IPAWS/CMAS link, or knows someone who is, and has a channel to clear this query up through? I could be unsurprised to find that the carrier VoWIFI proxies missed out on proxying SMS Cell Broadcast, which I gather provides the underlying PHY for CMAS. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
