On Verizon my iPhone 5 flashed brightly and made scary noises that woke both my husband and myself up at 1 something in the morning. It said to check local media when I checked the notifications. The phone was on Do Not Disturb for the night. I have since turned off the amber alert in settings because it was useless to wake people up and then to tell them to check their local media. They should have sent details at least if they were going to wake people up. We never did get back to sleep. My husband’s flip phone showed the alert but did not make noise at least!!! Sherrie

The newspaper article about the complaints FL got when they did this the other night said with iphones it was in the menus, with Android you had to call carrier. I’ll give Verizon a shout, literally.

Hi, it's in Notifications. also, that stuff is carrier specific, so if the setting's not there, your carrier doesn't support it.

Not sure Amber alerts at 2 a.m. are really going to do me much good.
