You are obviously misunderstanding the purpose of an Amber Alert. As I mentioned earlier, the idea of it is to make people aware of the situation and to be on the lookout, not organize a nationwide manhunt. |

I dont think the carriers should be allowed to have a setting to completely disable amber alerts.
What I do think is like on my phone after first initial alert you can dismiss the alert. And when phone goes to sleep as you wake it up the text massage appears of the alert and you minimise it with a button. The only disable for an amber alert should be a toggle to recieve text and sound message or vibrate and text. As for working in an environment that doesn't allow personal cell phones well you shouldn't have it with your or it should be turned off. The reason for the repeated alerts are for people that may have there phone off or are away from the phone. You get your breaktime on your phone and get the message . Just my 2 cents maybe be better ideas out there keep them coming. |

The FCC regulates everything these carriers do your forced to except it.
Your cellphone taxes like it or not pay for the amber alerts. Demand to improve it and make it better don't just dismiss it as an annoyance. |

One interesting thing I learned through this - my old cellphone, which does not have service anymore, received these alerts. Apparently even though it says "no service", it has service for calling "911" and receiving emergency messages like this only. (I use it as an iPod now which is the only reason it was on.)

Well that's the point of this discussion, but forcing things on to people isn't making it better. |

Also, just because you're willing to parrot the bullshit the gov't puts out, why do you expect everyone else to do the same? |

Not parroting anything here. Just stating the facts. Fact is in order for carriors to operate they must follow the FCC rules. All communication devises must be able to break off normal activities and broadcast emergency info fact.
