I think I discovered last year you can turn off the basic amber and silver alerts, but Texas tied 'officer down' blue alerts with the urgent weather alerts like flooding and tornados. Very, very stupid on their behalf. It just encourages people to turn off ALL alerts including weather which can be very dangerous. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a blue alert at 3am when it was a cop shot in Houston, about 6 hours away. It didn't wake me up however because of that do not disturb.
Like others, I have a "do not disturb" bedtime setting from I think 11:30 to 7am or something. No close family where I would be able to immediately help, but I should look into a way to always allow the lady friend's texts and calls.
I never turn mine offLike I do.
Or did the "blue alert" alarm wake you at 4 a.m., a couple of nights ago?
I've heard of that scam and have only ever gotten called once with it on my work cell. Unknown number, 7pm, audibly crying asking for help. I immediately knew it was a scam and asked if she needed help with her algebra homework. The caller hung up right away.but then you cant get the fun midnight calls about your family member being stuck in a Mexico jail and you need to send out $2,000 in giftcards or they will be sent to general population.
My phone stays on do not disturb 24/7. Only my wife and daughter can ring through, but it's only because they're the only people I actually want to talk to. They're both smart enough to not call me for an emergency. Call emergency services if you have a damn emergency, not family members.Or did the "blue alert" alarm wake you at 4 a.m., a couple of nights ago?
