Not sure that is all there is to it. I have an old phone that I keep this
laying around generally on Wi-Fi to listen to podcasts and a few other things.
Only wifi. No sim in it. It still gets those alerts.

Everything sent to cell phone with a pair of keys. One key is in your SIM
card, and the other is in the EPC at the cell company’s head end. I
assume the amber alert is still encrypted like everything else. Could be wrong,
but you might have to crack that to send anything to your phone that it would
listen to.

I wonder what kind of special signal they send to your phone to trigger an
amber alert? I would love to be able to trigger my phone on certain alarms
like that.
